Malachite
Numerous banded malachite "eyes" stare out at you on this striking slabbed and polished specimen from the famous mines at Bisbee. This is an extraordinarily rich old survivor from the days when such thick masses were used for malachite carving and jewelry. Today, we rarely see such specimens turn up for sale. This is old-time, very dense material and is definitely cutting grade and lapidary quality, with thick zones of high carving value. Ex. Dr. John Ward Collection. Weighs 489 grams or 1.1 pounds.
