Yes, this is a real, natural, unretouched specimen of chrysocolla, from a recent find in Congo. These are unlike any specimens of any mineral I have seen - almost PLASTIC-like in appearance, with a wet-looking, melty surface. Truly a very unusual copper-mineral specimen, and pretty, too - with deep, saturated turquoise color. The matrix here is covered all around and on both sides with chrysocolla.
