PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Silky Ball and Bladed Malachite Pseudomorph after Azurite with Chrysocolla and Plancheite from Kolwezi, Congo
These specimens from Kolwezi in the Democratic Republic of Congo display silky botryoidal (ball-like) Malachite alongside bladed Malachite pseudomorphs after Azurite, preserving the original Azurite's sharp tabular to prismatic crystal outlines in rich emerald green velvety or fibrous forms. These are combined with sky-blue Chrysocolla coatings and fibrous white Plancheite, set against a cracked, porous matrix. The intricate pseudomorphic retention are characteristic of the Katanga copper belt finds; limited stock available for collectors.
