A wonderful combination specimen featuring good quality, forest green color, sharp, blocky pseudomorphic Malachite crystals after Azurite which are associated with non-pseudomorphed blue Azurite crystals on the reverse side all sitting atop a coating of dark yellowish-green Duftite on matrix. Not your typical Malachite ps. Azurite specimen to be sure, especially in a cabinet sized display specimen. The largest crystal measures 2.4 cm. Valued at $2500 retail.
