A BIG, gorgeous example of malachite that has formed multiple "bull's-eyes," sought-after in what is otherwise a pretty abundant mineral species, due to its decorative pizzazz. These get picked over very quickly when malachite shows up at shows. There are a dozen bull's-eyes on this piece, and you can see little areas of light blue chrysocolla as well. The specimen has been brought to a fine polish. Weighs in at 3.7 pounds of solid malachite!
