Chrysocolla

Item Description

Yes, this is a NATURAL specimen of chrysocolla! This was a find not too long back at the copper-rich Star of the Congo Mine, of chrysocolla that is so strange and pretty you can hardly believe it is real. The bubbly, botryoidal surface looks like molten plastic, and is an intense, deep robins-egg blue. For color and uniqueness, this represents one of the most unusual new finds of the past few years! Nearly a floater, a bit of modest periphery wear and bruising are noted, but are certainly minor detractions. This STRIKING, sculptural, CABINET specimen is covered on both sides with beautiful chrysocolla! This mine is now abandoned.
