Description
A gorgeous and lustrous malachite has replaced a large crystal of azurite and has a great texture. The main crystal comes up out of its matrix and is accented with brighter green primary malachite and white calcite. The crystal details of the previous azurite have been preserved during the malachite replacement, which often obliterates such delicate formations. It is in great condition, without damage
