Item Description
Bubbly, rich green, malachite botryoids form a very sculptural crust on this fine older specimen from Katanga. Most of the malachite scintillates with a secondary coating, adding much character and pazzazz, but portions also have a more muted luster. Essentially pristine, the trivial bit of periphery wear is certainly not a detraction. Ex Harold Urish Collection #274. BETTER IN PERSON!!
