Item Description
A striking and sculptural specimen of undulating, bubbly, botryoidal, very pretty powder-blue chrysocolla from the famous Star of Congo Mine. This dramatic piece is beautifully accented with a rich dusting of sparkly, primary malachite microcrystals in the interstices between the botryroids. Pristine, except for the noted periphery wear. A classic and gorgeous chrysocolla combination piece from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
