Chrysocolla

No, this is NOT man-made - it truly is a completely natural, absolutely bizarre occurrence of botryoidal chrysocolla from the Congo. As you can see from the photos, it looks wet and melted, almost like plastic! It is not polished - this is the natural luster. And you have to love the intense deep turquoise color. WOW - cool stuff, unlike anything else out there!
