Item Description

Lustrous to dull forest green mammillary mass of botryoidal Malachite. Good shape overall. A great aspect of this specimen is the fact that on the back you can see all of the concentric layers of deposition to create the unique appearance. An beautifully formed, and truly eye-catching Malachite specimen from this prolific copper-mining district. Valued at $950.
