Malachite on Dolomite (Shields Flynn Coll.)

Chatoyant, sparkly, nubby to spiky botryoids of pretty primary velvet malachite are aesthetically clustered and isolated on the sculptural microcrystalline dolomite matrix on this very fine, rare style of malachite from famed Tsumeb. The isolated botryoid on the bottom is 1.4 cm and the piece displays well without aid. Ex Shields Flynn Collection. The former dealer label has a 900 Euro price ($1008 US). Choice and uncommon style malachite and dolomite combination material.
