Chrysocolla from Kambove, Kambove Territory, Haut-Katanga, DR Congo

Dimension: 8 x 6 cm Origin: Kambove, Congo A very interesting piece both for its aesthetics, its association of malachite and Chrysocolla crystallized in a ball, its brilliance and its rarity. Quartz crystals form its matrix and cover by a micro crystallization the whole of the specimen bringing a great luminosity. This specimen was discovered in the 90s. The current deposits in the Congo didn't produce this type of crystallization. Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen. The sample is not glued to its support (flexible mastic).
