Azurite, malachite and cerussite – M’Fouati Mine, Republic of the Congo

A specimen showing an association of azurite, malachite and cerussite, with a clearly distinct distribution of the three minerals. The azurite forms patches of intense blue, whilst the malachite occurs as small, dark green spheres. Between these two minerals, the light beige cerussite crystals are clearly visible: their elongated shapes and brilliant faces add depth to the specimen as a whole.

4 × 3.5 × 3.5 cm
