An attractive natural Chrysocolla-bearing rough mineral specimen, weighing approximately 23g.
This unusual piece displays vivid blue-green to turquoise-green mineralisation spread throughout a contrasting earthy brown and grey host rock. The green colouring occurs across multiple surfaces and within natural fractures, creating an interesting mottled appearance.
The colour and formation are consistent with chrysocolla and associated secondary copper mineralisation, although individual copper minerals can be difficult to distinguish visually without laboratory testing.
A lovely small specimen for a mineral collection, geological display or collector of colourful copper minerals.

Disclaimer: Gemstone identification is based on visual assessment only, considering colour, pattern, translucency, lustre and other observable characteristics. Stones have not been laboratory tested unless explicitly stated. Whilst every effort has been made to identify each gemstone accurately, identification should be considered our best professional opinion rather than a certified mineralogical determination. Natural gemstones vary in colour, pattern and inclusions, making every piece unique. Metaphysical properties are based on traditional beliefs and are not scientifically proven.
