Malachite pseudomorph after Azurite

Item Description

An attractive specimen of Malachite pseudomorphs after Azurite from a discovery in 2008 at Milpillas. Although there were many of these specimens available a few years ago, fine quality, undamaged display specimens are few and far between. This piece features many good quality, velvety, dark forest-green crystals of Malachite that have altered from Azurite sitting on matrix. The largest crystal measures 2.1 cm. Very little damage, and great quality for the find. Soon this locality will be done producing the carbonates, and will move to the base metals, meaning that there will be no more Azurites or Malachites available, so get them now while they're reasonable, because they will jump in value once they stop coming out of the ground. Originally priced at $850 in our inventory from nearly a decade ago, and certainly worth more today.
