These specimens combining two copper minerals, chrysocolla and malachite, in a nice balance are snapped up quickly when they appear. That is because of the beautiful color contrast. Sometime there is just a bit of chrysocolla, but this one has a perfect balance of the two minerals, in a really unusual and "artistic" design.
