A really dramatic, 3-dimensional specimen with a family of stalactites perched upon a gently rolling knoll of malachite matrix (my son saw it and named them daddy, mommy, brother, and little sisters). The piece is exquisite in its overall form, very 3-D, and sits nicely on its own. The piece is complete 360-degrees around except for some very minor, tiny little sub-mm rubs here and there that come out more in the pics than in person. The pics don't convey it, but it is very much mor epretty in person, with a good "shimmer" to the surface. Overall, this one is a bargain for the dramatic display and size you get for the money!
