Item Description
An appealing specimen of botryoidal Malachite; old classic Australian material, almost certainly from the heyday here in the early 1900s. The deep green Malachite spheres are arranged in an attractive cluster, the largest sphere is about 1.7 cm across, and the overall luster is good. On the back side can be seen the fine layered growth of the Malachites. Aesthetic and classic.
