Vibrant, velvet green malachite, has pseudomorphed all but the termination of, what once was, a large azurite crystal. There is a small contact/damage right at the termination on one side, but his is still a very good example of pseudomorphism and has exceptional chatoyant malachite coverage which makes it show well in a case, not dark as they often are. Ex. Charlie Key.
