Chysocolla on malachite, Katanga province, DRC
description: T
3" ac
This piece is from the Star of Congo Mine, near Lubumbashi Katanga province of the Democratic Congo Republic. The specimen consist of botryoidal, aqua-blue chrysocolla with botryoidal, chatoyent malachite on matrix.
Although this piece is relatively inexpensive, I particularly like it since it is generally more esthetic than thousands of others of its type that I have seen.
