Small Cabinet, 7.9 x 5.2 x 3.8 cm
SOLD
A GORGEOUS specimen in all respects - an unusually fine balance of sparkly little primary malachite spheres with spheres of botryoidal chrysocolla, complementing one another perfectly, and even with matrix in the background in places (which is unusual, since these are almost always a complete covering on the matrix). This is one of the prettiest I have seen of this combination - the chrysocolla is usually rather flat and "accenting" rather than intermixed in these botryoidal spheres. 7.9 x 5.2 x 3.8 cm
