Description

Excellent pseudomorph of native and massive Copper after a cluster of Gypsum crystals, that got disolved in the process and over time, leaving the cast-like hollow formations going through the specimen, creating a very structural, tridimensional and aerial aesthetic display. This impressive and very collectible specimen is seemingly a floater, with no visible points of attachments, and is totally covered by a layer of green, hairy-like and velvety Malachite final crystallization
