This rich green Copper Carbonate mineral is highly valued for its smooth, often semi-crystalline surface, displaying concentric and ring patterns in varying shades of green. Some specimens even exhibit chatoyancy on the “meaty” part of the matrix, making them highly sought after for lapidary work and designer jewelry. However, it’s important to appreciate their natural beauty and avoid cutting up exceptional specimens.PRODUCT MINERALS Copper Carbonate HydroxidePRODUCT FEATURES Monoclinic, Botryoidal, CrystallinePRODUCT COLOUR Green, BrownMOHS HARDNESS SCALE3 to 4PRODUCT DATA Locality = Tenke Fungurume, Congo Grade = Very Good to A GradeSize = 124 – 184 mm
