Item Description

An attractive specimen of Malachite from a new find at Midingi. This piece features good quality, velvety, bright forest-green acicular crystals of Malachite. Very little damage, and great quality for the find. It also has a better luster than the photos indicate. When I rotate it in my hands, the luster is what I would call "directional", as it moves across the thin needles of Malachite from one end to the other.
