Item Description

Chatoyant malachite is a Bisbee classic. This hefty, very showy, 3-dimensional specimen of solid primary malachite consists of many different forms and shades of green. Every turn is different! Several sides feature nubby, small sprays fringed by unusual, very dark green/purplish/grayish velvet malchite botryoids. The contacted faces reveal the larger sprays at their chatoyant best. Old-time material from this famous locale. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! Ex Robert Whitmore Collection.
