Republic of the Congo

102*85*50mm

Exceptional Congo azurite specimen displaying a vibrant spherical formation. The piece features a stunning profusion of deep azure-blue azurite crystals aggregated into a perfect globular cluster, exhibiting intense color saturation and a brilliant vitreous luster. The azurite 'bloom' showcases textbook radial crystal growth with sharp terminations.

This collector-grade specimen presents excellent three-dimensionality with strong color contrast between the two mineral phases. The matrix shows subtle oxidation tones indicating natural in-situ formation. From the renowned copper deposits of Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo, this piece represents a superb example of pseudomorphous replacement where malachite has partially overgrown azurite while preserving the original botryoidal structure.
