TUC14-145
Chrysocolla With Malachite
Kolwezi District, Katanga, Democratic Rep. of Congo
Cabinet, 11.6 x 4.9 x 2.7 cm
SOLD
A beautiful and unusual stalactite combination of two of my favorite colorful species: spheres of botryoidal, matte luster, sky-blue chrysocolla to 1.6 cm across are partially covered by a more lustrous thin crust of the same species. Then, for added effect, there are a few slender, lustrous, drusy dendrites of rich green malachite that sparkle in crevasses. A very attractive specimen with unusual eye appeal for its shape.
