A dramatic piece with telescoping, upright stalactites to 6 inches driving strait up from a piece of malachite matrix that curves up and behind, acting as support. Sit supright on its own, even. those malachites are complete all around, 360-degrees, wrapping around the back of the piece and pristine top to bottom. For a specimen of this size with stalks so exposed, and of this size - this is remarkable condition. I have seen few of this size with such large stalactites on such balanced matrix that supports but does not detract.
