A fine small cab specimen with sharp, pointed crystals "flying" or splaying out fomr the common core, very dimensional and aesthetic in person. These large crystals, to 2.5 cm, and their style, evoke the famous old classic malachites that once came out of Zacatecas in the 1970s. This particular crystal and specimen style was very rare in this pocket, and this is the largest and bet example of it we have.
