Malachite Pseudomorph after Azurite with Quartz

Ajo, Little Ajo Mts, Ajo District, Pima Co., Arizona

4.2cm x 2.9cm x 2.25cm

Ex. Florence Mecke Collection

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

A terrific, old time combination specimen from this classic Arizona locale!!! This specimen consists of a quartz crystal-covered matrix that hosts a group of unusually blocky azurite crystals that have been completely replaced by lively green malachite and then subsequently overgrown by a layer of sparkly quartz crystals!!! There is one isolated crystal that has part of the malachite exposed and shows a somewhat fibrous habit(upon close inspection it appears that this exposed crystal may have happened in situ!)!!! The other crystals exhibit a gorgeous green hue and sparkly luster!!! This specimen is quite showy in person!!! Old material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
