MALACHITE SPECIMEN
Many photos and a video from all sides of the specimen taken in natural daylight. What you see is what you will receive, no surprises.
ORIGIN : LAVRION MINES, ATTICA, GREECE
A wonderful example from the famous ancient Lavrion mines of Malachite with some vivid green well formed spherical aggregates of intergrown acicular Malachite crystals and minor Azurite on a contrasting matrix. Minor Azurite and dark green Adamite with light green Agardite also present on the base. Specimen looks very interesting under magnification as there are many features to explore, view the spherical aggregates close up which are most enjoyable. Although crystals are obvious to the naked eye, specimen requires magnification in order to enjoy the crystal structures and formations. Will be an interesting addition to any rock and mineral collection. Here is the opportunity to add this delightful specimen from a classic, ancient locality to your collection. Do not miss this opportunity.
Most of the famous ancient Lavrion mines are over 2500 years old and have a total length of over 50 kilometers. They were built on 6 underground levels and the entire mining site constitutes a natural museum since more than 680 mineral species can be found to date in the region which comprises almost 12.5% of the known minerals worldwide. Lavrion has aroused the interest of a growing number of mineralogists and amateur collectors due to both the variety and the beauty of its samples. The story of how mining began in the Lavrion district is lost in the mists of early history. Many ancient writers and orators mention Lavrion including Aeschylus, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Lysias, Aristophanes and Strabo. According to Aristotle, it was in 483 B.C when the rich deposits of Maronia (present day Kamariza) were discovered.

Perché gli utenti superano se stessi?
Quando viene fatta un'offerta, questo è l'importo massimo che una persona è disposta a offrire per il prodotto. Il nostro sistema farà quindi automaticamente un'offerta per conto dell'offerente, aumentando gradualmente l'offerta fino al massimo per mantenere la sua posizione di miglior offerente.
Quando c'è un'icona che indica "Offerta automatica", significa che il nostro sistema sta attivamente piazzando offerte per l'offerente in base alla sua offerta massima. Questo potrebbe sembrare come se gli offerenti stessero superando se stessi, ma è semplicemente il risultato del sistema che aggiorna l'offerta per riflettere il limite massimo degli offerenti.
