Item Description

A dramatically sculptural thumbnail cluster of flattened pastel-blue botyroidal chrysocolla stalactites from the famed Star of the Congo Mine. The tips of each botryoid host a brown mineral or rock and the sprays of primary malachite needles add even more character and color contrast. The piece looks like a duck with a turned head and neck with puffed out feathers! Choice and unusual material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
