This compelling specimen presents a richly layered copper mineral assemblage, where deep green malachite and brilliant dioptase crystals emerge alongside soft blue chrysocolla and pale calcite, all resting on a rugged natural matrix accented by metallic shimmering cuprite. The surface displays a striking interplay of crystalline sparkle and earthy texture, with dioptase providing vivid points of brilliance against the velvety malachite and the paler, mineral-rich base.
The combination of saturated greens, bright blue tones, and subtle magenta-brown cuprite inclusions creates a visually dynamic and mineralogically complex piece. Each crystal retains its distinct character, contributing to a composition that is visually striking and geologically expressive.
Measurement: 5” x 4.5” x 3.5”
Weight: 1162g
Specimens that combine multiple copper minerals with cuprite are especially valued for their mineralogical diversity and formation history. The presence of dioptase adds notable rarity and color intensity, while the underlying matrix and cuprite inclusions enhance the specimen’s authenticity and natural appeal. This piece is particularly well-suited for collectors who favor specimens with strong geological narrative and layered composition.
Multi-mineral copper specimen with malachite, dioptase, chrysocolla, and calcite
Cuprite present within the natural matrix
Rare crystal combination
Strong color contrast with deep greens, blues, and bronzy purples
Excellent surface texture and crystalline detail
One-of-a-kind collector mineral specimen
Malachite is often associated with transformation and energetic protection, while dioptase is traditionally linked to emotional clarity and heart-centered awareness. Chrysocolla is commonly connected to calm communication and balance, calcite is thought to amplify surrounding energies, and cuprite is associated with vitality and grounding. Together, these minerals are believed to create a powerful yet harmonizing energetic combination.
Malachite: Copper carbonate hydroxide forming rich green textures
Dioptase: Copper cyclosilicate with vivid emerald-green crystals
Chrysocolla: Hydrated copper silicate contributing blue coloration
Calcite: Calcium carbonate
Cuprite: Copper oxide present within the matrix
