A matrix of solid Chrsocolla and Malachite with the surface covered by Chrysocolla psuedomorphs of at least 2 different minerals. One are platy, tabular crystals (possibly Barite?) and the other are acicular radial group of crystals. Near the top is a cluster of sharp, deep green 'primary' Malachite crystals. This is a great old piece for a Katanga psuedomorph collector that comes with an old Al McGuinness label. Valued at $400.
