Item Description
RARE STYLE, amazing shimmering chatoyant sprays of rich green primary malachite needles dramatically fill a sculptural vug on this exceptional small cabinet rarity from Tsumeb. The striking sprays reach 2.0 cm. The base has been sawed to enhance the fantastic visual quality of this piece. Ex Shields Flynn Collection and illustrated on Page 43 of his 2018 self-published book, Minerals of Namibia - From the Collection of Shields and Frances Flynn. Outstanding Tsumeb malachite of this rare varietal. Valued at $1250-1500. MUCH better in person!
