MALACHITE SPECIMEN
ALL PHOTOS AND VIDEO WERE TAKEN IN NATURAL DAYLIGHT
MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE PHOTOS REVEAL
ORIGIN : MAVROLAKKOS MINE, KASTRO VALLEY, LIMENARIA, THASOS ISLAND, KAVALA, MACEDONIA, GREECE
(The earliest mining on the island has been dated to around 13,000 BC, when paleolithic miners dug a shaft at the site of the modern-era Tzines iron mine for the extraction of limonitic ochre)
A delightful and rarely seen nowadays example from this locality, with a nice sparkle, consisting of green Malachite crystals on a contrasting Limonite matrix. Colors contrast wonderfully. Although crystals are obvious to the naked eye, specimen requires magnification in order to enjoy the crystal structures. This is a wonderful example from this old Greek iron mine which is considered to be the best locality for Malachite on Thasos Island. Hardly any of this material from this locality is available on the market which makes it a rare specimen (google search). Will be a delightful addition to any rock and mineral collection. Do not miss this opportunity.

Oh my, as I have a macro lenses camera on my phone i am able to see how intricate and incredibly detailed this piece is. Very easy to say that it will be hard to find a piece as rare as this

Every piece of pyrite purchased from this incredible seller is different and unique in so many ways. I love my pyrite and will continue to use orkytonminerals as my source for all specimens purchases.
