This is a huge, unbelievable specimen of bright, crystalline malachite. The flashiness in person is just incredible - the camera could not pick up the super SPARKLE and gorgeous forest green color of the display face. The malachite crystals cover the rolling matrix of chrysocolla. The chrysocolla add a pretty robin’s-egg blue color accent. This is a true showpiece!
