Item Description

A very sculptural crust of intergrown spherical aggregates of velvety primary malachite spikes on just a bit of very complimentary matrix. The piece has a nice shimmer when moved under bright light. Nearly pristine. Contacting on the right edge reveals the nifty radial growth of the chatoyant needles. Excellent malachite of this style from recent finds at this now famous locale. Get a good one, while you can.
