Malachite after Barite
specimen number:
8282153
location:
Shangulowe Mine, Kambove, Lualaba, DR Congo
description:
Thin bladed crystals of what were once barite measuring to 2.5 cm in size covering the top of this matrix and replaced by green malachite. Micro-chipping is present, I think this could be expected for one of these. I still think that the specimen is in great condition. A really fine example for this pseudomorph.
Size: 11.0 x 9.5 x 2.0 cm (cabinet)
Collection: Eugenio Andrades
