Item Description

Sharp, velvety, dark forest-green crystals of malachite, to 2.3 cm, with a nifty chatoyant shimmer have altered from azurite and line the outer face of this sculptural and aesthetic curved specimen from the now famous discovery of 2007 at Milpillas. The pseudos rest on a starkly color contrasting crust of lighter malachite coating a thin plate of matrix. Get a very fine example of this varietal while you can! Excellent quality for the find.
