Description
Only a very few specimens came out with this green-on-green look to them, with sharp bladed crystals literally popping up off malachite-colored matrix. The contrast in both color and texture is striking, making this miniature the most dramatic of the lot for my taste. These crystals are razor-sharp, to 1.3 cm in size. NO damage at all on the display face, only to a few crystals hanging off the back end and not facing out anyhow. In person, this is much more 3-dimensional than the photo appears.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
