Item Description

Stunning spray of primary Malachite needles growing on top of sky blue Shattuckite, all on Quartz. The Malachite spray itself is 7.3 cm long, and the green contrasts beautifully with the blue. It has a few bits of wear, and is perhaps contacted on the left side, but is overall in good shape (surprising for such an exposed cluster).. This is one of the largest crystallized examples of primary malachite I have seen, and is striking as a bonus to its significance. A fabulous combination with incredible aesthetics. The pics say it all. Valued $2000
