Item Description
A notably hard to find specimen of Malachite coating Chalcopyrite from the famed San Pedro Mine in New Mexico. This is certainly one of the most eye-catching and displayable examples we've had in the auctions in a while, as it features a prominent, sharp, well-formed crystal of Chalcopyrite measuring 2.4 cm which has been coated by green Malachite along with a few additional Chalcopyrites, aesthetically perched atop the matrix. You can see a minor amount of the original brassy appearance of the Chalcopyrite underneath the Malachite, in select spots. I love how the main crystal sits so prominently atop the piece, giving it a lot of character and visceral appeal. Impressive older material that is seldom seen in today's market.
