Item Description

First-rate cluster of about six large, lustrous, radial crystal aggregates of Malachite from famous Kaokoveld. Each of the Malachite crystal sprays grow from a single point, the largest is an impressive 4.5 cm across, and their color and luster are both superb. Certainly one of the most aesthetic pure Malachite specimens I have seen, especially for crystallized growth. Note this is primary malachite, not a replacement of prior azurite. Very significant piece, valued $750-1000
