Item Description
This very showy and sculptural specimen appears to be a complete all-around floater in near pristine condition. The bubbly, botryoidal chrysocolla on the front is richly and attractively covered with scintillating, emerald-green primary malachite crystals. The amazing backside of chrysocolla looks like two, attached, crenellated, powder-blue, flower petals or human hearts! A facinating and beautiful two-sided combination specimen. This extra fine piece, from a New Find is MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
