Natural Kaolinite Coated Dolomite On Dioptase Specimen x 1 From Congo

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Unique Kaolinite coated Dolomite on Dioptase specimen with Shattuckite, Malachite and Chrysocolla

This specimen features a striking assemblage of minerals, including Dolomite coated with Kaolinite, set against a backdrop of Dioptase. The Dioptase, a vibrant green copper silicate, is accompanied by secondary copper minerals: Shattuckite, Malachite, and Chrysocolla, all of which exhibit rich turquoise and blue-green hues. The Kaolinite coating, a clay mineral, forms a soft, earthy layer on the Dolomite, enhancing the contrast between the minerals. Originating from Congo, this specimen showcases a complex interplay of secondary mineralization in a geologically dynamic environment.
