Description
From a recent find in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), an interesting double pseudomorph of Chrysocolla replacing Malachite after Azurite. Several original tabular Azurite crystals are encrusted in a druse of glassy transparent colourless Quartz crystals which create a sucrosic-textured sparkle to the underlying intense sky-blue Chrysocolla. The crystals in this specimen form a vertically-bent stalagmitic structure with a C-shaped, corral-like habit. The Tenke-Fungurume area delineates a 30 km mineralised zone between Tenke hill and Fungurume hill in the Kolwezi mining district. Around the base at the back of the specimen, parts of the central core of dark emerald-green Malachite can be seen. A vividly coloured and architecturally shaped miniature of pseudomorphed Chrysocolla mounted on a square colourless acrylic base.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
