There are two very similar specimens in this set of auctions, of completely different minerals: a slice through an intergrown cluster of rhodochrosite stalactites, and this a similar cluster of malachite stalactites, with gorgeous "bulls-eye" patterns from the concentric rings of deposition formed as the stalactite thickened through deposits over thousands of years. Polished on both sides. 8.0 x 6.1 x 0.7 cm
