NRK5 Malachite ps. Cuprite

Chessy-les-Mines, Rhone Alpes, France 

1.9x 1.6x 1.5 cm

$800

A thumbanil cluster of malachite pseudomorphs after cuprite.  This is a rather large cluster, as the vast majority of specimens from this locality are under 1 cm.

These pseudomorphs are classics, though with most recovered in the 1800's, specimens only come from old collections.  Examples of this size are also particularly hard to come by.
