Item Description
An aesthetic crust botryoidal malachite with rich color and striking velvety luster. The shimmering botryoids look like a next of mushroom caps. The reverse side reveals the banded, chatoyant nature of the botryoids. This is excellent old-time material for China (1980s, when Chinese material was just coming to market). From the Shilu Mine and compares with the best from Africa.
