Description/Interesting Notes:
An unusual, old time example of malachite from Russia!!! This specimen consists of a highly lustrous group of botryoidal malachite crystals in association with
some small, partially altered crystals of magnetite on a matrix of somewhat fibrous pyrophyllite!!! The malachite has a lively green color and
marked luster!!! Upon close examination, the magnetite crystals can be seen to have a cubo-octahedral habit!!! The pyrophyllite exhibits some radiating
groups of crystals throughout as well!!! A very interesting and attractive Russian malachite indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 2nd!!!
