Natural Chrysocolla Blade Crystal Pseudomorph after Malachite with Druzy Coated Ball Malachite on Dolomite x 1 From Lupoto Mine, Congo

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This is an XL very unique blue drusy coated Chrysocolla bladed Pseudomorph cabinet mineral specimen. This is a very complex and geologically interesting piece, as the original Lamellar Blades grew as Azurite formations, but oxidized into Malachite (which they are inside) but oxidized again into nice bright blue Chrysocolla, then became coated in clear drusy Dolomite and yet another layer of Malachite balls coated growing on the drusy coated blade formations, with one more layer of drusy clear Dolomite crystallization covering the Malachite. Shoe, that was a mouth full! This complex and bizarre crystallization happens from Copper saturated fluids from the semi liquid areas in the mantle surfacing in Hydrothermal Veins rising up through the fault lines at different Geological periods, and at different levels, which shows in the several layers of Mineralization and Crystallization. BRIGHT blue and green drusy coated Chrysocolla with Malachite. This BEAUTIFUL and classic large cabinet specimen is over 20 cm long.
