Item Description
The famous Emke Mine is known primarily for its fine specimens of crystallized copper; but, it also has turned out a limited number of fine secondary copper mineral specimens. Here is a showy CABINET crust of very sparkly, primary malachite. The sculptural malachite looks like popcorn. Nearly a floater, there are just a few points of attachment on the back. Rare in this quality, with very limited bruising, overall. Ex Saller Collection of Germany. MUCH BETTER IN PESON.
