This Malachite specimen is exceptional, more resembling the material to come from the Congo but is, believe it or not, from this famous Chinese locality! The entire front side is covered in splendid Malachite spheres and groups of very thin, hollow stems. Most of the botryoides are complete with a dazzling, velvety surface and rich green color. The stalactites creep over the sides of the botryoidal Malachite with many culminating to a rounded "cap." This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
