Item Description
Pretty turquoise-blue chrysocolla botryoids are nestled among strikingly sparkly malachite botryoids on this very colorful and showy combination specimen from this famous and abandoned mine. A bit of periphery wear is noted, but only has modest impact to this sculptural specimen. The sparkling quality of the malachite really adds to the attractiveness of this exceptional combination piece. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by him at $300, five or more years ago. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
