Malachite roses ps. after a doubly terminated azurite crystal! The malachite has formed wonderful flower patterns within the shape of the former azurite crystal. This style of replacement is by far the best and most attractive i have ever seen from Tsumeb or any other locality in the world. Gorgeous quality and visual impact, a sheer unbelievable piece from this classic locale! Ex Prof. Siegmund collection, a famous and well-known Austrian collector in the mid of the last century. Price on request.
