Item Description

Intergrown botryoids of primary malachite needles and velvet malachite form a striking and most sculptural small cabinet from recent finds at this famous mine. The bit of attached porphyry matrix and the attachment points, that reveal the radial growth of botryoids and banded growth of the velvet malachite add pizzazz to this very showy piece with multiple display views. Get a good one while you can.
