Item Description

Bubbly, botryoidal, malachite of two hues nearly totally covers the vuggy matrix on both sides and the end of this strikingly sculptural specimen from the famous Mina Ojuela. Patches of glassy, colorless, calcite rhombs are a super accent. Classic, showy and most excellent older material from this historic locale. Fairly valued at $650 for richness and quality.
