Description

This specimen comes from the Victoria mine, which exhibits malachite crystallizations on native graphite. The mine is a stratiform sedimentary-exhalative deposit of Zn-Pb-Fe-Cu in Ordovician schists. The primary mineralization is highly modified following Hercynian metamorphism and regional tectonics, and is in turn crossed by Late Hercynian granitic pegmatite dikes. The specimen is a very unique piece.
