AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Natural sample from Congo, composed of malachite and chrysocolla in a spectacular compact formation, with the surface displaying a vibrant turquoise-blue of chrysocolla fused with green bands of malachite, creating a very beautiful visual combination.
Crisocolla: Hydrated copper silicate with a variable formula, associated with alteration phases in copper deposits. It appears in shades ranging from green to intense blue and is appreciated both in gemmology and as an ornamental stone.
In this combination, chrysocolla formed between cavities or as a partial replacement of malachite, creating a highly sought-after geological expression. Naturally carved in free form, it is ideal as a decorative element or for collection.
Origin: Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo
