{"product_id":"malachite-on-chrysocolla","title":"MALACHITE  on CHRYSOCOLLA","description":"A classic Katanga Copper Crescent Malachite on Chrysocolla from the L'Etoile du Congo Mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).  This large cabinet (or even museum size) specimen has a thick bright turquoise blue botryoidal deposit of Chrysocolla covering a cellular grey-black Manganese oxide matrix containing shards of a tan coloured rock.  The Chrysocolla has in turn been mostly covered in a layer of crystallised, sparkling deep leaf green primary Malachite forming a drusy botryoidal surface which varies between a waxy and glassy lustre.  Where the Malachite does not cover the Chrysocolla, smooth lustrous hemispheres and almost complete spheres of Chrysocolla glisten between the Malachite, so creating a magnificently aesthetic specimen.  It will look superb on display.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781522989391,"sku":"CC9015","price":2591.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC9015_d4fdfe79-612e-40aa-9424-84e39653f662.jpg?v=1783992803","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/malachite-on-chrysocolla","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
