This is a heavy specimen of SOLID chrysocolla and malachite, in a gorgeous balance, with beautiful banded bul'l-seyes. Malachite comes out of this area in high quantities, but when it is intermixed with chrysocolla, it is really sought-after for the obvious reason of its great beauty. It is REALLY hard to find ones like this where the two colors are in such a great balance and you get the beautiful malachite patterns in a "sea" of deep turquoise blue. These tend to get grabbed very quickly. This large piece is polished all over to bring out the beauty.
