Item Description

A very sculptural and highly unusual large elongated cluster of intergrown spherical aggregates of velvety primary malachite with a bright chatoyant shimmer on matrix. Large and small "craters", one a hole, are riddled on the undulating surface and really add character. This showy piece has a definite biomorphic look to it! It looks an amphibian. Nifty malachite from recent finds at this well-known locale.
