{"product_id":"chrysocolla-ps-after-malachite-ps-after-azurite-with-quartz-18","title":"CHRYSOCOLLA ps. after MALACHITE ps. after AZURITE  with QUARTZ","description":"A super-unusual small cabinet specimen of vivid sky-blue Chrysocolla preferentially coated with orange-tan micro-crystals of Quartz and dusted with jewel-like 1 to 2 mm clusters of lustrous emerald green Malachite crystals (primary Malachite).  This specimen is from the Tenke-Fungurume area, east of the Kolwezi mining district in the central-southern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).  The Chrysocolla pseudomorphs after Malachite which, during an earlier stage of paragenesis, pseudomorphed after Azurite.  These pseudomorphs form inverted V-shaped tabular crystals over a surface of Chrysocolla and it is these which are preferentially coated in chocolate-orange Quartz.  A delightful and quite arresting specimen from central Africa.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781133934927,"sku":"CC20992","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC20992.jpg?v=1783978788","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/chrysocolla-ps-after-malachite-ps-after-azurite-with-quartz-18","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
