When exposed to oxygen and groundwater over time, copper commonly alters to secondary minerals such as malachite, which creates the distinctive green coatings often seen on copper-bearing specimens from this region. The Oumjrane district is well known among collectors for its rich copper mineralization and colorful mineral associations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1527\"\u003eCopper deposits at Oumjrane formed through hydrothermal processes, where hot mineral-rich fluids moved through fractures in the surrounding rock and deposited metallic minerals as they cooled. Over time, weathering near the surface altered portions of the copper into secondary minerals, producing the green patinas and mineral coatings now visible on many specimens. These pieces illustrate both the original copper mineralization and the natural chemical processes that modify minerals after formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eCu and SiO₂ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChakra\u003c\/b\u003e: Heart and Root\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 3.5cm x 3cm x 2cm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 24g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge \u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 4.5cm x 3.5cm x 2.5cm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 65g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
