Chrysocolla (Wes Parker Coll.)

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 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 couple of years! A bit of bruising is noted on the mound, but has modest impact on the overall dramatic aspect of this piece. This striking, sculptural, mounded specimen is covered with beautiful chrysocolla!
