Cuprite Malachite Chrysocolla Stone, 41.7mm Semi-Polished Crystal Specimen from D.R. Congo (87.40g)

This one-of-a-kind natural Cuprite specimen from the Democratic Republic of Congo features a beautiful combination of deep reddish-brown Cuprite, rich green Malachite and blue-green Chrysocolla, a three-mineral combination sometimes known as Malacupracolla. The exposed Cuprite displays a distinctive red clay to chocolate-brown coloration, with several broad areas contrasting against the surrounding copper-rich green and turquoise mineral formations. Its irregular, somewhat triangular shape reveals fascinating patterns of swirling mineral layers, darker matrix areas, fine green veins and naturally textured surfaces. Some areas display rounded, almost flowing formations, while others feature intricate lines and contrasting mineral boundaries. Originally raw material, this specimen was gently tumbled and partially polished to smooth its edges and bring out the natural colors and details while preserving much of its original shape and character. The reddish-brown Cuprite developed an especially attractive smooth, slightly glossy finish, making this substantial little specimen comfortable to hold, examine and display.
