Item Description

Malachite crusts richly cover the unusually blocky, hefty small cabinet matrix on this RARE and showy old-time specimen from the numerous copper mines of the Coquimbo Region of Chile. Ex Philadelphia Academy of Sciences. The numbers match. The showy old rarity probably dates to the late 1800s or early 1900s. Malachite specimens are VERY RARE from the region, for some unknown reason.
