Item Description
Almost certainly from the heyday of the early 1900s, this is an appealing specimen of botryoidal Malachite. Old classic Australian material, for sure. Singles are uncommon, and this deep forest-green, 2.4 cm sphere has very good luster, and is perched perfectly on a smaller amount of Malachite. On the reverse side, you can see the layered pattern of the Malachite. Aesthetic and classic.
