Item Description
A striking, large, solid, two-sided crust of beautifully chatoyant sprays of primary malachite from the famous Mashamba West Mine. The chatoyancy under light is exceptional. This is uncommon, older and very high quality material from this noted locale. It compares with the best from Bisbee! Ex Marty Lewadny and Sam Cooper Collections. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
