An exceptional specimen. A druse of primary Malachite crystals with a quadratic morphology, featuring sharp, shiny faces and edges, set on a matrix of crystalline Malachite and with minor white Baryte.
The specimen is from the classic locality of Rudabánya, Hungary, a hydrothermal deposit with subsequent supergene enrichment, where Bornite and Chalcopyrite are present in its origin.
This piece comes from an old private French collection, and in our experience, it may be among the finest primary malachites ever found at this deposit.
Rudabánya, Kazincbarcika District, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén Hungary
Specimen size: 7 × 6.8 × 4.9 cm = 2.76” × 2.68” × 1.93”
