Description:This is an outstanding specimen of lustrous, forest-green malachite, composed of many parallel, finger-like stalactitic growths They have a sparkle to their surface that is appealing and bright. The individual fingers reach 9 cm in length.. For such a soft mineral there are relatively few bruises on any of the fingers (just a few very trivial bits of wear), and all the major tips are complete. In fact, the piece itself is very 3-dimensional, and complete all around! This came from an old stash in the Victor Yount dealer inventory, some time ago, to me. He had $2500 on it.
