AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Chrysocolla with Heterogenite and Malachite – DR Congo
An outstanding and richly textured specimen featuring vibrant botryoidal chrysocolla partially covered by black heterogenite, with underlying malachite visible in several areas. The electric blue and turquoise hues of chrysocolla contrast strikingly with the jet-black heterogenite and rich green malachite, creating an eye-catching and high-contrast mineral association.
This specimen comes from a reputable source and has not been altered or treated in any way—what you see is its natural form. The photos are taken under daylight-equivalent LED lighting to show the specimen as accurately as possible. Please note: some colors can be difficult to capture accurately in photographs. I do my best to present the specimen faithfully.
All items are professionally packed and shipped with tracking. I have many years of experience in international mineral sales and strive to provide accurate descriptions and high-quality service. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I'm happy to help.
