Malachite (Ref: 6587)

Another great Malachite specimen from the old venerable Friedrich Mine near Wissen in the classic Siegerland mining area. This super piece hosts relatively stout sprays of glassy, highly lustrous Malachite on gossan matrix. These elongated primary crystals of Malachite, which reach up to 1,2 cm individually, have an adamantine luster that is nothing short of fantastic, and a deep forest green colour that complements the luster perfectly. These crystals are not large by worldwide standards, but they are stunning by the standards of old German Malachites, and important for the location and the style.A fantastic old specimen with great aesthetic impact, and rare on the market as well. Comes with an old Herb Obodda label.
