Chrysocolla

Item Description

A great large display piece and really unique in my experience with specimens from this famous mine. Yes, this is a natural specimen of chrysocolla. This was a find not too long back at the copper-rich L'Etoile du Congo Mine in Congo, of chrysocolla that is so strange and pretty you can hardly believe it is real. The botryoidal surface looks like molten plastic, and is an intense, deep robin's-egg blue.
