A NOTE FROM NICK
A very nice classic large (over 17cm) cabinet sized natural drusy coated bright blue Chrysocolla Pseudomorph stalagmitic specimen with prismatic Malachite crystals. The beautiful blue Chrysocolla has a sparkling layer of clear drusy dolomite crystallisation coating it, with prismatic bright green malachite Crystals perched on the stalagmitic "sheaf" formations underneath. These are rare and are classic mineral specimens and will no doubt extremely expensive in the future when they run out. There have only been a few more recent pockets of these in recent years from Congo.
