Description
What a g great miniature-sized specimen with numerous sprays of acicular, forest green Malachite crystals with a vitreous luster. They are perched in vugs lined with botryoidal Limonite which is part of a massive limonitic matrix. The habit of the Malachite crystals of the sprays, as well as the makeup of the matrix is typical for the Friedrich Mine near Wissen in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. A rare German classic from a the former iron-copper-nickel mine that closed in 1953. A sought after German classic!
