Item Description
Burra Burra Malachites are considered interesting and attractive, and this follows right in line. The two-and-half spheres are composed of layered Malachite, with the largest being about 1.6 cm across. While many of its brethren have had a higher luster, this piece has a beautiful, almost velvet luster with more than a hint of sheen, almost iridescence. Combines with the deep, forest-green color, and you have an aesthetic specimen for this locality.
