Item Description

A classic, two-toned, sturdy, CABINET, crust of bubbly/botryoidal malachite from the late 1970s work at the well-known, but very small, Rum Jungle prospect in Australia. This is an excellent combination piece, as it also includes a sculptural boxwork cluster of adamantine luster cerussite crystals and scattered clusters and isolated yellow pyromorphite crystals. Seldom available in this large, high-grade combination quality today. The malachite has a very nice, flowing, sculptural quality to it and the holes really accentuate the piece. Ex Robert Nowakowski Collection and comes with what is probably the original specimen label from the 1970s. Valued at $750-900.
