Wonderful classic specimen from this famous locality, large terminated crystals of what were once azurite coming aesthetically off matrix and replaced by attractive green lustrous malachite. The specimen comes with several previous labels, one of them from Viktor Hoffman dated in 1924. This was also part of the well-known Buranek collection. In super condition.
