Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Malachite
Locality: Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org)
This dazzling, large specimen of primary malachite shows its interesting history in the labels that came with it. It has an index card from Carnation heiress Marion Stuarts collection, showing it to be from Russia, and a separate piece of paper that says it came from Arch Oboler via Martin Erman. The next label is from the Natural History Museum in L.A., which had the specimen on loan from Ms. Stuart, and which shows the location as "Katanga, Zaire", but also with (USSR?) under it - so perhaps it was the curator there who wondered if it might be from Africa rather than Russia. The next label is Dave Bunks, first with the locality as "Russia?" and a price of $2,500, but with this price scratched out and replaced with $400, and the locality as "Zaire?" Dave didnt want to take a chance of selling it as Russian if he wasnt sure. So it looks as though nobody could quite figure it out for sure. At any rate, it is big, stunning and impressive, wherever it is from! Comes with the original acrylic display label from the Stuart collection that has the location as Ural Mountains, Russia. IN any case, it is big, showy, and impressive! 18.9 x 18.0 x 8.3 cm
