Description

Impressive and large Azurite-Malachite from Lavrion Greece with noticeable 'wavy' Malachite crystallization on the top left side of the specimen! Well balanced aesthetically piece with a clear separation between the well crystallized Azurite and Malachite, together with translucent to opaque Aragonite thin crystals covering in part the main display adding this way more contrast! From an old find with trully remarkable Malachite crystallization!
