Item Description

Sharp, velvety, dark forest-green crystals of malachite, to 1.9 cm, with a nifty chatoyant shimmer have altered from azurite and cover this sculptural plate from the now famous discovery of 2007 at Milpillas. The pseudos are starkly color contrasted by the bit of white matrix. Get a very fine example of this varietal while you can! Excellent quality for the find.
