Description

Although malachite is common, it is too hard to find a collectible piece from Lavrion. This is a very unusual and rare style making for a striking display specimen of the species. I acquired it many years ago and I have kept it in my personal collection until recently that I decided to sell it. If you want one Lavrion malachite, this is the piece to get!
