Item Description

Attractive group of rich green Malachite spheres arranged on matrix. The Malachite is actually two generations, lighter on darker, which can be seen gradationally on the front and sharply on the back. The largest of the spheres is about 1.4 cm across. It is so unusual to find these on matrix that the tan plate below actually adds even more to the value and the fine aesthetics of this toenail.
