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 porphyry matrix. Small "craters", are riddled on the undulating surface and really add character. This showy piece has a definite biomorphic look to it, like a multi-legged insect! Nifty malachite from recent finds at this well-known locale.
