PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Chrysocolla with Malachite Specimens
Chrysocolla with Malachite specimens from Likasi, Congo, are remarkable mineral assemblages from the Likasi mining district, renowned for its rich copper deposits. These specimens display a mesmerizing palette, with Chrysocolla’s soft turquoise to teal hues forming smooth, botryoidal layers or crusts, interwoven with the lush, forest-green banding of Malachite, and accented by the rare, vivid blue of Shattuckite, which often appears in fibrous or crystalline clusters. The interplay of these copper based minerals,Malachite (a copper carbonate), and Shattuckite (another copper silicate), creates a dynamic contrast of textures and colors, ranging from silky and matte to glossy and striated.
