MALACHITE2

The market is familiar with Malachite pseudos from Tsumeb, Bizbee, and most recently from Millpillas, Mexico. This is the first I've ever seen from this location in Western Australia. It is uncommon to find on the market today. What I really like about it, are the little gemmy Wulfenite crystals "sprinkled," over the piece for good measure. It has a good lustre, and the original form of the Azurites are obvious. It is without any damage.
