A sharp and complete pseudo accompanied by a rare and colorful pseudomorphism. The malachite has a velvety, chatoyant sheen that produces a stunning patch-work of an ever-changing shades of green. This chatoyance and multitonal color made it difficult to fully capture the sharpness of the crystal in the pics. The pseudomorphs are an extraordinary and unique compliment to this already striking specimen. They have a wonderful lime-green color. While all of the cuprite pseudos exhibit varying degrees of alteration, their underlying form is still quite evident, with some of the crystals still having some sharp faces.
