Item Description
A fine and showy specimen - a very rare old 18th or early 19th century of a classic, 1.1 cm, ball-like cluster of elongated fibrous malachite crystals, from the noted old German district that produced the best malachites of the day besides Russia. It is aesthetic, as the ball rests in a well-placed vug atop gossan matrix. Ex Herb Obodda Collection # 3716. valued $200
