While Toenail is not an official "competition" size classification, sometimes thumbnail specimens are just a bit too big for competition rules, often referred to as "boxbusters." There is no standard size for toenails, but they overlap a thumbnail and a miniature.

Item Description

A classic stalactitic specimen of Malachite from DR Congo featuring a few "finger"-shaped layered / banded formations with sparkling almost velvety luster on the surface. There are few exposed / contacted areas on the piece that show the concentric rings / bands of growth. A nice overall piece of this well-known material.
