14hdcer ((CHRYSOCOLLA, MALACHITE)), $10 MINIMUM BID, Kamoto Mine, Katanga, Congo, 5.5 x 4 x 1 cm, Miniature | |
Here is a specimen combining two copper minerals, chrysocolla and malachite. These are desirable because of the beautiful color contrast. Sometime there is just a bit of chrysocolla, but this one has a perfect balance of the two minerals, in a really unusual and "artistic" design. There is one on mindat.org that nearly looks like the same piece. ex Wrights rock shop. |
