Chrysocolla – DR Congo
€60.00
A gorgeous pseudomorphosis and epimorph combination on this specimen. The big crystal shapes that you can see were originally Azurite that underwent a pseudo morphosis to the grass green Malachite (as visible in the cross-sections). The small needle-like crystals were originally Malachite that got pseudomorphed to the bright sky blue Chrysocolla. Eventually, the Malachite that replaced the Azurite got leeched out, leaving an epimorph.
