Item Description
A very rich and showy specimen from the famous Mt. Gunson Mine of South Australia. Old, classic, hard to obtain material today! The two-sided, undulating rib of malachite is solidly covered with sparkly, forest-green, atacamite blades. The "A" side is far richer and has very little contacting, while the "B" side has fewer atacamite blades. This is a rich and excellent example of the species and noted locale. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
