MALACHITE SPECIMEN
ALL PHOTOS AND VIDEO WERE TAKEN IN NATURAL DAYLIGHT
MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE PHOTOS REVEAL
ORIGIN : MAVROLAKKOS MINE, KASTRO VALLEY, LIMENARIA, THASOS ISLAND, KAVALA, MACEDONIA, GREECE
(THIS LOCATION IS AN OLD IRON MINE)
A MARVELLOUS LARGE AND RICH SPECIMEN OF BRIGHT GREEN NEEDLE-LIKE CRYSTALS OF MALACHITE ON
LIMONITIC MATRIX FROM A REALLY HARD TO FIND LOCALITY. SPECIMEN REQUIRES
MAGNIFICATION (LOUPE) IN ORDER TO FULLY ENJOY THE RANGE OF INTERESTING
CRYSTAL STRUCTURES. SPECIMEN LOOKS AMAZING UNDER MAGNIFICATION WITH ALL THE VUGS FILLED WITH MALACHITE.
Hardly any of this material from this locality is available on the market which makes it a rare specimen (google search) This is a wonderful example from this old Greek iron mine, which is considered to be the best locality for Malachite on Thasos Island, and probably in Greece. The earliest mining on the island has been dated to around 13,000 BC, when paleolithic miners dug a shaft at the site of the modern-era Tzines iron mine for the extraction of limonitic ochre

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
