Item Description

This specimen features good quality, sparkling, forest green, acicular Malachite "needles" on additional Malachite and gossan matrix. It is in great shape overall, and really catches one's attention. There were a lot of these specimens found several years ago, but not nearly as many today, so if you want an attractive small cabinet display specimen of this well-known material, don't miss out on this one. The piece comes from an old East Coast collection, dating back around 30-40 years ago.
