Item Description
This large, polished piece of copper minerals is composed of intricately intergrown chrysocolla and malachite, in swirls and bands and layers. This amazing color combo came out in a single large batch that went to China from Congo, early in 2024. We saw several batches being unpacked and processed in our Chinese travels this year, and selected a few to offer as both specimens and decor; this being one of the nicer and most intensely colored pieces in the size range. 10.8 pounds in weight, it is saturated with color and gorgeous, quite unlike old finds of one or the other species.
This specimen is part of the 2024 Dallas Mineral Collecting Symposium benefit auction, donated by The Arkenstone, with proceeds benefiting Mineralogical Record, Rocks & Minerals, Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, and mindat.org. Thanks to all of our participants!
Billing for this auction will occur on Monday, August 19th, for payment using PayPal or a credit card. Shipping will be billed at cost.
