Item Description

A rare and pretty specimen of primary malachite from Tsumeb, out of the collection of the noted collector of African minerals, Ulrich Bahmann. These are densely-massed acicular crystals that have formed dome shapes sandwiched between layers of matrix. A very hard Tsumeb specimen to come by, valued at $650.
