Item Description
This sculptural rolling specimen is composed of two generations of intergrown primary malachite botryoids. Most of the botryoids have spiky to nubby surfaces, with only a few having shimmering smooth velvet malachite surfaces. Botryoids mostly cover a nifty portion of the porphyry matrix. The periphery wear reveals the beautiful chaotyant radial needles of the botryoids. Valued at $450-500.
