{"product_id":"botryoidal-chrysocolla-with-malachite","title":"Botryoidal Chrysocolla with Malachite","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"49\" data-end=\"502\"\u003eThis large chrysocolla specimen presents as a sculptural botryoidal formation with rounded, overlapping surfaces that resemble clustered cells or softened mineral bubbles. Deep forest greens transition into vibrant turquoise and teal bands, with areas of darker mineralization creating striking contrast across the surface. The natural patterning gives the piece a layered, almost topographic quality, drawing the eye across each contour and pocket of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"504\" data-end=\"898\"\u003eChrysocolla forms in copper-rich environments, often alongside minerals such as malachite and cuprite, where oxidizing conditions allow these vivid blue-green tones to develop. Specimens like this are typically sourced from regions in the Democratic Republic of Congo or Peru, both known for producing richly coloured, botryoidal chrysocolla with strong visual contrast and structural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1148\"\u003eChrysocolla is often associated with calm, communication, and emotional balance. Many are drawn to its oceanic colours and use it as a grounding presence in a space, bringing a sense of softness and flow while maintaining visual depth and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003e5.5 × 10 × 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003eApproximately 6.5 inches height off stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003eWeight: 2kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1430\" data-end=\"1758\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eMineral: Chrysocolla\u003cbr data-start=\"1450\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003eFormation: Botryoidal\u003cbr data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1477\"\u003eColour: Teal, turquoise, deep green with darker inclusions\u003cbr data-start=\"1535\" data-end=\"1538\"\u003eOrigin: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKatanga\/Shaba region, \u003c\/span\u003eDemocratic Republic of Congo\u003cbr data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003eDisplay: Mounted on metal stand\u003cbr data-start=\"1600\" data-end=\"1603\"\u003eFinish: Natural, untreated specimen\u003cbr data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1641\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eEach piece is one of a kind — natural variations, surface texture, and mineral composition are part of its character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atelier Lithic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47659776409812,"sku":"308","price":677.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9021\/0260\/files\/E36C1902-1534-4A52-AF16-ED3E45252E71_1_201_a.heic?v=1773718080","url":"https:\/\/www.atelierlithic.com\/products\/botryoidal-chrysocolla-with-malachite","provider":"Atelier Lithic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
