Item Description

A very sculptural large crust of intergrown spherical aggregates of velvety primary malachite spikes on just a bit of matrix. The piece has a nice shimmer when moved under bright light. Pristine. Contacting on the edges reveals the nifty radial growth of the chatoyant needles. Excellent large malachite of this style from recent finds at this now famous locale. Get a good one, while you can.
