An AMAZINGLY formed, and truly DIFFERENT malachite specimen from this prolific copper-mining district. The malachite here has piled up 5 CENTIMETERS on the matrix, in this incredibly sculptural accumulation of small botryoidal forms. It was trimmed out perfectly, with just a small "base" of supporting matrix - which is shown out to the side in the pics, but would be at the bottom when displayed so that the specimen appears as this weird "bush" of malachite. A strange and wonderful-looking specimen!
