{"product_id":"chrysocolla-ps-after-malachite-ps-after-azurite-with-quartz","title":"CHRYSOCOLLA ps. after MALACHITE  ps. after AZURITE  with QUARTZ","description":"An arresting large miniature double pseudomorph of intense sky-blue Chrysocolla replacing Malachite after Azurite and coated in Quartz, from the magnificent recent find in the Tenke-Fungurume area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in Central Africa.  At least 13 former tabular Azurite crystals, now pseudomorphed to Chrysocolla, form a V-structure when viewed face-on, or may be viewed as more a towering tight cluster of multiple pseudomorphs sitting at 45 degrees to a Chrysocolla-coated matrix.  Of the two opposite splayed faces of composite Chrysocolla pseudomorphs, one covers a 4.5 x 3.4 x 0.5 cm thick pale salmon-pink and rusty-tan Dolostone matrix.  The tabular Chrysocolla crystals, independent of the matrix, attain 5.3 cm tall and form a composite group with many terminations laying flat against adjoining crystals.  Those Chrysocolla pseudomorphs laying against the matrix form a similar morphology and are developed to approximately 2.5 cm long.  These taper towards Gothic window-like terminations and are entirely encrusted with sparkling micro-Quartz crystals with a bright glassy lustre.  The Chrysocolla is a stunning sky-blue and throughout the base and the cross-section of a snapped crystal can be seen their remnant cores of deep leafy-emerald-green Malachite.  Micro-crystalline Malachite rosettes to 9 mm sit on the face of one group and individual tiny Malachite crystals are dusted over the free-standing crystal faces.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545289216175,"sku":"CC20835","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC20835.png?v=1770378277","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/chrysocolla-ps-after-malachite-ps-after-azurite-with-quartz","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
