Malachite ps. After Azurite on Calcite

Item Description

A superlative, artistic pseudomorph from famed Mina Ojuela. A fabulous, well-placed cluster of malachite after sharp azurite blades rests in a very sculptural vug lined with sparkly, drusy calcite rhombs. The striking large pseudo is 1.5 cm long. The few broken crystals noted in the front of the piece are certainly only a minimal detraction to this adorable pseudomorph. Ojuela azurites were never common and quality pseudos, such as this, are RARE. See the 2003 Mineralogical Record special issue on the Ojuela Mine. Value?? We think $500-700 is fair.
