Item Description
Bubbly, botryoidal, malachite in distinctively gradational size range and variable green shading form a striking, sculptural specimen from the famous copper mines of Shaba. The very light green botryoids on the upper left and manganese-coating botryoids on the lower left add much character. A colorful and artistic piece.
