Item Description

An exquisite and symmetrical hemisphere of acicular primary malachite crystals is aesthetically set on glassy, colorless calcite rhombs. This is a rare and outstanding thumbnail example of these two common Tsumeb species together. Ex Miller Calcite Collection # 34. Undoubtably an early acquistion.
