Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, tiny, yellow-green, pyromorphite barrels are richly peppered on the sculptural, large undulating gossan matrix plate covered with spherical aggregates of tiny, forest-green malachite blades. The speckled contrast is nifty. The backside of this two-sided rib is similar to the front, but has an oxide coating. Interesting two-sided chemistry here! Dramatic and excellent large material from the find about four years ago. Valued at $1500 and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175 for free. 3.5 pounds or 1.6 kilos.
