Description
Quantum Quattro is a trade name used for a copper-rich rock from Namibia that contains a visually distinctive combination of blue and green secondary copper minerals within a siliceous (quartz-rich) host rock.
This material typically includes a mix of:
-
Chrysocolla – blue-green to turquoise copper silicate
-
Malachite – green copper carbonate
-
Azurite – deep blue copper carbonate
-
Shattuckite – blue copper silicate
Not every specimen contains all four minerals in equal amounts, and exact mineral identification can vary without laboratory analysis. Colours appear as veins, patches, and flowing zones controlled by fractures and mineralised pathways in the host rock.
The specimen is natural and unpolished, with a rough texture and strong colour contrast between the copper minerals and the surrounding matrix. Quantum Quattro material is valued for its striking appearance, copper mineral diversity, and Namibian origin.
