SOLD
This very fine and sculptural specimen appears to be a complete-all-around floater in near pristine condition. The bubbly, botryoidal chrysocolla on the front is richly and attractively covered with scintillating, emerald-green malachite microcrystals. The amazing backside of chrysocolla looks like two attached crenellated, powder-blue, flower petals or human hearts. A fascinating and beautiful, two-sided, combination specimen.
