Item Description
A very aesthetic, fan-like cluster of very elongated, chatoyant, acicular, primary malachite crystals from recent finds at the famed Mashamba West Mine of Congo. A cute small miniature! Primary malachite is not that common worldwide and this is an excellent, complete all-around example of the species and noted locale. Essentially pristine, which is uncommon in itself. Ex D. Trinchillo Sr. Collection and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $100 as a free bonus.
