Item Description

A hefty, large (football-sized) mammillary mass of botryoidal malachite. VERY impressive in person, this large mass is without the usual scrapes and abrasions one often sees in big pieces. It has an unusual dark coatign on some outgrowths, which could be iron grown in with the malachite, or another species (perhaps heterogenite). It is, in any case, an unusual aesthetic. Large and dramatic, not the usual run of the mill big malachite, we value this around $1200-1500
