Amazing multiple-generation pseudomorph of Rosasite after Malachite after Azurite. This complex and attractive framework of equally complex pseudomorphs is over 7 cm across, with individual crystals being intergrown and up to nearly 1 cm in size, at the maximum. The velvety luster and uniform Persian-green color are quite aesthetic, and there are few crystals of Primary Malachite to add even more interest to the piece. This is a stellar specimen.
