Description

Old time from the Krantz stock: a quite representative specimen of banded malachite with in part nice banding. Please note: i suspect that the specimen was cut by Krantz (there is the other half too) quite some time after the sample was found which was in 1880 according to the label. The handwriting could be from Robert Damon. The sample was only cut, not polished (i did not polish it to preserve the state it was when i got it from Krantz). For the pictures i moisted the surface slightly to present the banding.
