PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Gorgeous rare Calcite coated Chrysocolla specimen with Shattuckite and Dog Tooth Calcite crystals
Chrysocolla, a hydrated copper silicate, exhibits vibrant blue-green hues and is often associated with copper deposits. The Calcite crystals, composed of calcium carbonate, form a translucent, white to colorless coating over the Chrysocolla, enhancing its aesthetic and mineralogical complexity. The juxtaposition of these minerals highlights both the chemical interaction between copper-rich and calcium-rich environments and the geological conditions prevalent in the Congo's copper-bearing regions.
