A group of malachite specimens all in vertical images. Malachite comes in so many astonishing forms. These are all shown by the higher end dealer, Marcus Budil. I saw far more malachite from many dealers than is typical. Democratic Republic of Congo is the source for the specimens. You can spot the growing fan base in the specimens shown prominently each year. This is also a big year for fluorite. #Tucson #TucsonGemMinerals #Malachite #Green #Rocks #Minerals #Geology

It’s different from the other vertical pieces shown in the previous photos because it is not smooth but showing a heavy texture of crunchy coarse green crystal grains. It seems like a castle made with many towers, torrents and decorative spires.
