Description

Elegant miniature featuring a botrioid of malachite fully lined with bright azurite crystals. The specimen is very old, at least pre-1951 (when the collector Burger, from Switzerland, passed away) and it is beyond classic.

With a pasted label on the back and a recent label on the front, this specimen is definitely an oldtimer. 
Good quality, sought-after material.
