Primary Malachite

Item Description

This is certainly one of the most sculptural and aesthetic matrix primary malachite specimens we have offered at auction from the now-famous Milpillas Mine. Integrown balls of rich green spiky/nubby primary malachite crystals are richly and expertly set on the blocky small cabinet porphyry matrix. The pretty carnation-pink oxide coating on the matrix plus the numerous dark Fe or Mn crusts are super contrasts and accessories to this exceptional primary malachite specimen. Get a superb matrix example of this varietal while you can. The oxide zone has been mined through on this copper mine.
