Item Description
An attractive plate of malachite pseudomorphs after azurite from the now famous discovery of 2007 at Milpillas. Although there were many of these specimens available a few years ago, fine quality, undamaged display specimens are few and far between today. This piece features good quality, velvety, dark forest-green crystals with nice chatoyance. The largest crystal measures 1.3 cm, and the bit of azurite at one end makes for a great touch of additional color. Very little damage, and great quality for the find.
