Item Description

An attractive 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 are few and far between now. This piece features good quality, semi lustrous, velvety, forest-green crystals of Malachite that have altered from Azurite. Good quality overall, and in the center of the piece is a bit of pale blue Chrysocolla for an added touch.
