Item Description

A total floater, this curving hemispherical malachite specimen is literally like a cloak of thick velvet, frozen in the air after being shaken out. It is simply gorgeous - the video will attest to that. Best color. Best silky luster, with chatoyant patterns as light and eyes move over it. This is one of the finest examples of this particular style, in this size, that we have seen. It probably dates to the time from 2015-2020 as part of the old mine here was reopened to collecting specimens for sale.
