Malachite w/ Chrysocolla (unusual form!) Kay Robertson Coll.

Item Description

This striking malachite has bizarre form! It has a surreal layered, melted, bubbly look and has lustrous fine variable green hues accented with a bit of sky-blue chrysocolla. The fantastic vertical view resembles Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars! Rare, highly unusual, probably older malachite from one of the famous copper mines of Katanga and has multiple display views. Ex Kay Robertson # 10776. Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record).
