Chrysocolla with Quartz - Kaokoveld, Namibia

🔬 Scientific Description

This large specimen displays a stunning interplay of pale turquoise chrysocolla and translucent quartz with subtle green malachite inclusions. The cavity structure reveals drusy quartz crystals overlaying chrysocolla veins, indicating repeated deposition cycles of silica and copper-rich fluids.

The hardness gradient—from soft chrysocolla to crystalline quartz—demonstrates natural mineral stabilization typical of Namibian copper oxidation zones. The mix of botryoidal and massive textures provides both visual and structural contrast, emphasizing its geological evolution.
