Item Description

An excellent and showy "primary" Malachite specimen from the famous locality at Onganja (most likely the Emke Mine). Several VERY sharp and lustrous, Malachite crystals up to 1.3 cm intergrown and essentially off matrix. A bit of damage here and there, but good shape overall. Primary malachite of this quality is significant, and is not that common from Namibia or anywhere. Priced at $500.
