Item Description

Very colorful, dramatically sculptural and RARE combination material from this less well-known Kolwezi District open pit copper-cobalt mine. Striking, 3-dimensional, multi-hued bubby botryoids of beautiful turquoise-blue to shimmering green chrysocolla cover the artistic plate. A few bruised botryoids and the sides reveals a band of RARE for the locale, Heterogenite, a rare Co-hydroxide beneath the chrysocolla. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175, for free. An exotic and beautiful combination rarity from the mine.
