Malachite (Primary)

Item Description

Striking specimen of Primary Malachite (not formed after azurite replacemnt, in other words) on Malachite. The crystals of Malachite are some of the most beautiful bladed Primary Malachite crystals I have ever seen. Stacked curved blades up to 3.5 cm long, they have a gorgeous deep forest green color and superb luster. Layered on top of this first generation is a second generation of iridescent, velvety Malachite. The piece has a balance and beauty beyond what the very good pics can adequately capture. This is exceptional and very aesthetic. Primary malachite crystals of this size are rare, and this is probably the best locality for them. Valued $900-1200
