Chrysocolla and Malachite Free Form
DR Congo
5.20 x 2.20 x 1.14 inches (13.20 x 5.60 x 2.89 cm)

The undulating surface of this free form polished specimen has a layer of bright blue Chrysocolla ringed by a deep green Malachite. Even the edges of this specimen are remarkable, as the periphery shows an intricate botryoidal growth of the Malachite underlying the Chrysocolla. This is a very highly decorative offering showcasing a pair of often associated secondary Copper minerals.
