Pseudomorphosis of chrysocolla with quartz crystals – Congo

A unique mineral specimen from Congo, where finely crystallized quartz covers chrysocolla, which has created a pseudomorphosis after an unknown columnar mineral – probably after malachite.
This creates a visually very attractive contrast between the blue-green chrysocolla and the translucent quartz crystals on the surface.

Properties:
Pseudomorphosis – chrysocolla has replaced another mineral, while maintaining its shape
Quartz forms a fine, shiny crust
Location: Congo (Africa)
Aesthetically distinctive collector's item

Unusual combination of chrysocolla, quartz and possibly malachite
A great example of natural mineral transformation
