Item Description

An attractive specimen of Malachite from a new find at Midingi. This piece features good quality, velvety, forest-green botyroidal group of Malachite. Only a little damage, and good 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 velvety needles of Malachite in multiple directions.
