Do not let the supply of beautiful copper specimens from Shaba Province blind you to the beauty and desirability of the really fine and flashy ones, like this! It could NOT be more sparkly and glittering, and the shallow pocket in which the malachite crystals have grown is ringed with a layer of gorgeous deep robins-egg blue chrysocolla (on which the malachite crystals grew). A sizeable and very showy specimen, with much prettier color in person. 13.4 x 8.6 x 5.7cm
