Malachite

An elegant, vertically mounted specimen of Malachite richly covering a rusty-brown matrix of limonite-coated Goethite from the classic Ojuela mine at Mapimí in Durango, Mexico.  The Malachite occurs as micro-crystalline velvety sprays in dense druses and as banded rounded stalactitic stacked mounds, again with a matt, velvet-like texture.  This most attractive specimen is mounted on a clear acrylic display base.
