Item Description

An aesthetic specimen 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 were few and far between. There are several fine quality, velvety, dark forest-green crystals of Malachite that have altered from Azurite. The side of the specimen shows some small blue "spheres" of rarely seen Plancheite! A nice specimen of this well known material.
