Item Description
An impressive and aesthetic pseudomorph of matte-finish malachite after large, sharply terminated, azurite crystals from Tsumeb. These parallel-growth pseudos look like advancing wave crests. The fat pseudo is 3.1 cm across. Very robust and Very sculptural. One termination edge is chipped, but can be strongly minimized by the presentation. A bit of scuffing is a modest detraction but, in context and price, aceptable. Hefty, at 192 grams. Fairly valued at $1000-1250.
