A very colorful and striking combination specimen from a new find at the Star of the Congo Mine. Banded, green malachite is the initial coating on the very vuggy, sculptural matrix. Beautiful, bright powder-blue, botryoidal chrysocolla follows. Two generations of malachite are next: first is forest-green, botryoidal variety; followed by the scintillating, emerald-green malachite microcrystals. An exceptionally fine piece from this new find.
