Item Description

A very scupltural 3-dimensional cluster of intergrown primary malachite botryoids from recent finds at this now famous mine. Primary malachite needles predominate. I like the way the crest of the piece is composed of chatoyant velvet malachite botryoids. It adds contrast and pizzazz. The arch and depressions add even more character. A bit of scuffing is noted at the top of the piece, but this remains a very artistic and showy example of this varietal.
