SOLD
A BIG, flashy and beautiful copper-mineral specimen, combining botryoidal green malachite with accents of robins-egg blue chrysocolla. The specimen rises in back to make it quite sculptural. These fine specimens coming from Kolwezi have bee underrated, in my opinion. What would they go for if they were from anywhere else in the world - such as Arizona 14.5 x 13.6 x 8.8 cm
