Item Description
Intergrown, beautifully shimmering velvet malachite botryoids form a dramatically sculptural elongated specimen from recent finds at the now-famous Milpillas Mine. The botryoids rest on a spare bit of porphyry matrix, adding character and contrast. See the fine 2021 Mineralogical Record Mexico Special Issue IX on the Milpillas Mine in Vol. 52, No. 5. The mine is now closed as of 2020. Milpillas is certainly considered to be one of the world's greatest azurite and malachite producers ever. Ex Taylor Hunt Collection and valued by the former dealer at $800. This is a very fine and artistic example of this malachite varietal from this noted locale. Get one while you can.
