Malachite ps. After Azurite

Item Description

A showy specimen from recent finds at this now well-known Mexican locale. Sparkly, lustrous, two-toned green malachite has pseudomorphed azurite blades to about 2.0 cm. The plate is strikingly accented with the pretty touch of white. The plate is pristine, except for the out-of-sight periphery wear on the back. The smelter is converting to sulfide ore soon, indicating the oxide zone is about mined out. No more superb azurites and malachites will be forthcoming. A showy display piece.
