Item Description

A fascinating, colorful and most sculptural cluster of aragonite stalactites from recent finds at the well-known Wenshan Mine, source of beautiful and fine blue hemimorphite specimens. This striking piece looks like a headless giraffe with a dramatic bright turquoise-blue stripe running down the neck and onto the back! The blue color is caused by copper staining and the tip is pristine. A surreal and colorful 360-degree aragonite stalactite.
