Description

This is one of the richest and best specimens of malachite-wires from Brixlegg I've seen so far. The matrix is white dolomite with a vug that is filled with superb malachite-wires. Have a look at the detail-photo and you will agree that it's just beautiful. Free of damage and hard to obtain in this quality.
