A unique specimen! The only large plate in the lot, literally in the pocket, with sharp angular pseudomorphs so nicely arranged on brilliantly shimmering velvet malachite matrix (composed of minute acicular crystals, apparently). The deep forest green on grass green contrast is striking in the photo even, and much more so in person. There is no damage save a small bit at the right periphery, although the plate could also be displayed vertically with the right side as the base/bottom if that bothers you. I personally like the horizontal field of view, as it emphasizes the large area of contrast so nicely.
