MALACHITE1

These boldly colored pseudos are aesthetically set on a brown ochre matrix. You can really appreciate the Chrysocholla involved as it brings a bright green-blue to the Azurite forms. If you look closely, there are a few micro Wulfenite crystals sprinkled around the piece. These are not often found in the marketplace. This was the best one I acquired from the Charlie Key collection. To my knowledge they are not in current production. The fourth pic is from the top looking down. It comes mounted on a clear acryllic base. No visible damage.
