2.75″ Drusy Chrysocolla with Dendrites from Africa

This piece weighs 5.3 oz and measures 2.75 x 1.75 x 1.25″. From the Congo.

This piece features a glittering cyan layer of chrysocolla with a light drusy coating. Especially interesting in this piece are the plentiful dendrites coating every surface. Chrysocolla is typically found as a crust on a host stone, as seen here. The color comes from copper ores contained within the mineral.

Chrysocolla resonates with the throat and heart chakras, and is said to promote harmony, level-headedness, and clarity of thought.
