Primary Malachite

Item Description

A strikingly sculptural cluster of intergrown primary malachite botryoids composed of two generations of crystallization and accented with a bit of porphyry matrix from recent finds at this now famous mine. Second generation needle crystals partially overlay the first generation velvet malachite. The attachment points reveal the nifty chatoyant radial growth of the acicular malachite crystals. Showy and highly representative material of this varietal with multiple display views. valued $450
