A very 3-dimensional spray of velvety, chatoyant malachite, with one major crystal rising up and out. Complete and pristine all around the front and sides except for one minute spot on the front, contacted but complete on back, this is an excellent display specimen. Malachites of a quality like this have not been seen from Mexico in a long time, since the 1960s at Zacatecas - and those often were small, contacted heavily, and simply not as visually appealing. This thing could pass for a Tsumeb piece, of twice the value, scarily enough. This is subtly different, from Tsumeb material, but not by much. This piece has no azurite, and is 100% malachite replacement. Much of this find is mixed and large malachite pseudos that are in good condition, seem to be awfully rare.
