Item Description
A very aesthetic parallel-growth pair of malachite stalactites with rich color and striking velvety luster. The rounded knobby ends of the stalactites really add character! This is outstanding 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.
