An attractive spray of chatoyant malachite crystals with very little attached matrix. Aesthetic and in great condition all around.

Editor's note

Malachite is commonly used for carving figures and creating polished objects but the best malachite creations are created by earth. Malachite forms in many interesting shapes, this one has formed as a spray and looks like a bunch of green needles. It also has a cat-eye effect visible in the video. If mounted upright on a base it's a great piece for a bright miniature collection.
