Item Description

Cute and pretty balls of blue-green chrysocolla are richly and attractively clustered and scattered on the botryoidal crust of densely banded green to teal-blue chrysocolla on the sturdy blocky matrix. This is a rare style and form of chrysocolla habits from the famous and extinct Cu-Co Star of the Congo Mine, worked intermittently and by locals for mineral specimens. This striking and exceptional piece displays well without aid.
