Item Description
A superlative and very rare two-sided combination specimen from this large open pit copper mine. The very sculptural, knobby botryoids are covered with powder-blue chrysocolla. The back shows the classic, highly chatoyant, banded malachite with numerous, fabulous "eyes". Both species are rare from this mine. A choice, aesthetic and rare miniature from the Herb Obodda Collection.
