Item Description

Choice set of fan-like clusters of deep forest green primary Malachite crystals. The tabular individual crystals range up to about 2.5 cm in length, and the crystal faces are either smooth and highly lustrous or covered by sparkly drusy Malachite. Very good quality, and aesthetic, example of primary malachite....this is rare because most large malachite crystals form as replacements of azurite. But, not this. .
