Description
Cabinet size blue and green specimen with teal color as well. Fuzzy botryoidal cornetite specimen that is lightly dusty with green malachite. Very sparkly when light is shown on it.
The find is from the 1960s or 70s and then was packed up in old newspaper in Belgium shortly after the find.
From Will Larson "For its size one of the top specimens of cornetite in private collections. Really great luster and amazing colors. Some minor damage on the periphery but typical for the species as it's botryoidal"

Malachite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
