A large vug in sturdy, sculptural, gossan matrix is filled with pretty green, primary malachite micro-needles. A fine accent to this old-time specimen are the lustrous calcite rhombs. The large, 1.2 cm, colorless rhomb is un-tinted, but the rest of the rhombs are included with highly desirable malachite. Ex. Dennis Mullane Bisbee Collection.
