Malachite pseudomorph after Cuprite (classic material) (ex Carl Acosta Collection)

Item Description

An excellent pair of classic cuboctahedral crystals of Cuprite replaced by velvety green Malachite sitting on Calcite from Onganja. These are classics from the Emke Mine, and easily recognizable for their form and color. The largest crsytal measures 2.6 cm. No damage and very show! From the personal collection of Carl Acosta with an additional label from The Sussman Collection. Valued at $1,500 retail and a worthwhile miniature of this now hard to find material.
