General Description
Exceptional classic cabinet specimen from Congo! Beautiful complex crystalline surface with chrysocolla and malachite, Chrysocolla has a cyan (blue-green) colour and is a minor ore of Copper. The material has a wide range of hardness between 2.5 to 7.0. It is of secondary origin and forms in the oxidation zones of copper ore bodies. Malachite is a green Copper Carbonate Hydroxide mineral. It was one of the first ores used to produce Copper metal. Our specimens are sourced from the Congo which extensively mines the material for its copper content, thus getting specimen grade material is quite difficult. Price is grade dependant.
