Malachite, Chrysocolla
Dongchuan Cu ore field, Dongchuan District, Kunming Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
Large Cabinet, 20.4 x 10.0 x 7.8 cm
SOLD
A fantastic large cabinet specimen from the very little-known Chinese locality of Dongchuan. Silky, bubbly, botryoidal malachite fills the sculptural matrix with amazing patterns and the light coating of powder-blue chrysocolla is a super accent. This mine is now closed, so there will not be any more of these striking specimens.
