Description

I find this to be the most attractive of the variants due to its delicate nature and gentle colorations with black accenting in just the right place. By delicate I don’t mean that it cant be handled without fear of breaking it, I mean its rounded off terminations instead of sharp form exhibited in most of the new find material.

This style numbered only a dozen of so of usable collection quality, a small number hence rare. Significant in weight due to the stable malachite matrix hosting a radiant arrangement of vertically orientated blades consisting of baby blue chrysocolla.

Contacted edges reveal the interior structure to be eroded yet the exterior shell is solid. The entire surface is coated in an attractive dusting of sugary quartz so it sparkles attractively. My favorite from the new finds.
