Malachite and Dioptase with Calcite and Chrysocolla Fine Mineral Specimen

$350.00

Description

This richly textured specimen brings together an exceptional assemblage of copper-based minerals, dominated by deep forest-green malachite interwoven with flashes of vivid gemmy dioptase and cool blue chrysocolla. The surface is alive with fine crystalline detail, where velvety malachite growth contrasts against the glassy brilliance of dioptase crystals and the softer, matte tones of chrysocolla. Sparkling calcite accents add texture and mineral complexity, completing the composition.

The interplay of greens and blues creates a visually dynamic piece that feels serene and organic. Every surface reveals intricate natural crystal formations, making this specimen visually engaging from every angle.

Dimensions & Weight

Measurement: 5” x 3” x 2”

Weight: 585g

Collector’s Notes

Multi-mineral copper specimens of this quality are highly sought after for their rarity, color saturation and textural complexity. The presence of dioptase—known for its intense green brilliance—elevates this piece beyond a typical malachite specimen, while chrysocolla and calcite provide mineralogical complexity and contrast. This is an excellent acquisition for collectors who appreciate richly layered compositions and uncommon mineral associations.

Highlights

  • Velvety malachite with rare vivid dioptase crystal accents

  • Associated chrysocolla and calcite

  • Strong color contrast with deep greens and blue tones

  • Excellent surface texture and natural crystal form

  • Rare Combination 

Metaphysical Properties

Malachite is often associated with transformation and protection, while dioptase is traditionally linked to emotional clarity and heart-centered awareness. Chrysocolla is commonly connected to calm communication and balance, and calcite is thought to amplify and stabilize surrounding energies. Together, these minerals are believed to create a harmonizing yet powerful energetic presence.

Mineralogy

  • Malachite: Copper carbonate hydroxide forming rich green, fibrous textures

  • Dioptase: Copper cyclosilicate

  • Chrysocolla: Hydrated copper silicate

  • Calcite: Calcium carbonate
