Malachite crystals on Chrysocolla (Ref: 7.AE-262)
Kolwezi, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)
110mm x 84mm x 53mm
Matrix of rich light green veined Chrysocolla contrasts with a dense covering of darker primary Malachite crystals. An older Kolwezi specimen, this is sizable, undamaged, lustrous and displays very well. Although the Malachite appears dark under most lighting, with strong illumination these are seen as gemmy, transparent bright green crystals. The Copper Crescent zone of the Congo is an amazing and productive area. Every few years some new habits and styles are found, this piece from one era of production is a style we do not see anymore. In my opinion, these fine quality Copper secondaries represent one of the best current values of price to quality in the modern mineral market. Carefully selected, this example is really impressive in person. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
