Item Description

This attractive specimen features several very sharp crystals of Malachite after Azurite from this premier locality in Congo. The deep green, very well-formed crystals are associated with very pale blue-green Chrysocolla on matrix. A beautiful specimen of this classic and now somewhat hard to find material. Hard to illustrate in the photos, but the sharpness of the crystals is good for this locality.
