Russian Azur-malachite Sphere
Kaminuska, Siberia
Obtained directly from the miner, this large sphere is notable on many fronts: the central area shows a rare pattern of malachite within a larger area of azurite matrix. Natural cavities and vugs lend interest to this large and impressive sphere which any collector would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Diameter: 5 1/2 in. Weighing approximately 5.5 kilograms
