Splendid Malachite pseudomorph after Cuprite on azurite base – old and highly desirable specimen from the famous Chessy, France. Chessy is one of the world’s classic localities for Cuprite. The Malachite completely replaces two Cuprite crystals of 4mm with rhombic dodecahedral habit. The Cuprite crystals are complete all over, pristine, sharp and perfect. The dark blue Azurite base gives super contrast. In very good condition – some natural imperfections. On acrylic base.

Wonderful!
