Summary

Description
English: Chrysocolla
Locality: L'Etoile du Congo Mine (Star of the Congo Mine; Kalukuluku Mine), Lubumbashi (Elizabethville), Southern area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 15.0 x 14.2 x 10.7 cm.
An aesthetic 7.5-cw-wide vug in rock and malachite is here hosting botryoidal, lustrous, sky blue chrysocolla spheres, to just over 3 cm in length. A few spheres have a coating of rich green malachite for added contrast. Overall a beautiful specimen representing a complete pocket as it was found. Most are broken open and trimmed to get smaller pieces which show the bubbly look of the chrysocolla. Intact nodules like this, showing how they form in nature, are harder to obtain. Mass over 2 kilograms.
