Item Description

A 3.3 cm "ball" of elongated primary malachite needles is aesthetically set on quartz matrix. Both sides of the ball are nicely accented by glassy, translucent, multi-hued emerald-green dioptase crystals. A very showy and excellent two-sided combination from the Kaokoveld and the Paul Zerfass Collection # 779. Highly unusual and aesthetic!
