Item Description

This fantastically shaped cluster of malachite botryoids looks like the head of green trilobite! It is strikingly perched atop the curved "body". Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The frontal view is pristine and you don't see the trivial bit of bruising on one side. Choice, incredibly sculptural malachite from this well-known Chinese locale from the Cynthia Payne Collection.
