Item Description
An impressive, large, 3-dimensional specimen of intensely sparkly, botryoidal, velvet malachite from this famous and now abandoned copper mine. The knobby highlands and deep valley give this piece a dramatic aspect. The bit of periphery wear shows that turquoise-blue chrysocolla under lies the malachite, which is quit revealing, colorful and very interesting. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $150, for free. Ex Charelle and James Webb Collection. Valued at $750-1000.
