Description

A very unique, sculptural specimen of malachite, a grouping of stalactitic "fingers," all but one of them complete! They rise like some sort of life form from a base of massive malachite. Note the beautiful sparkly surface luster, as well. This is not your usual malachite plate or single stalactite - really different and very pretty. One side of a stalactite is polished, what is showing a beautiful colourzoning as well.
