Silica Chrysocolla Large Natural Specimen

Deep blue-green and shiny Chrysocolla layers on matrix. This type of Chrysocolla is considered rare and highly sought after (higher priced) and if you read my listings, I generally consider "rare" items to be uncommon...it is the size of this that really makes it special. I do have at least one larger piece to unbox (message me if you want the largest), though I don't think any have a solid crust, botroidal layer like this one. Chrysocolla is a gentle stone, representing the child in all of us, full of unconditional love. This piece will remind you to love yourself because you are worthy. Size: ~9 3/4 x 5 3/4 x 4" Weight: ~4 1/4 lbs Origin: Kasompe, DR Congo circa 2004 Please note that this is a fragile specimen; there are existing fracture lines, but the piece is not cleaving (seems solid). I can gently run my hand over the shiny surface with no damage; however, little crumbles are common every time you pick it up and move it around (from whichever area is being handled, so normally the bottom) and there is a small area on top (see photo) that has a little piece missing.
