A BIG specimen of solid malachite, which has crystallized in velvety, botryoidal "fingers." A showy and impressive specimen! If this were from Bisbee, I shudder to think of the five-figure price. It could almost pass, too. But, its just a really good African rock and so doesnt commmand the insane value a Bisbee piece might, though it DOES convey the same impressive display qualities. 17.2 x 11.9 x 6.4 cm
