Description
A very rich and fine cabinet specimen from the Mt. Gunson Mine of South Australia. Old, classic, hard to obtain material today. The two-sided, undulating plate of malachite is solidly covered with sparkly, forest-green atacamite blades. This is a rich, large and excellent example of the species and noted locale.
