Wonderful capture, I had no idea that malachite was a "large" stone, I have only seen beads and such made with it.

Thanks, Pops, for the interesting background. I am sure it is one of those items you would NOT wish to bump against accidentally...! Must be more expensive than I'd care to imagine. Regards Nico
