The Dolphin. Over a small Quartz matrix, a multitude of small Malachite crystals of uniform green color, completely pseudomorph a previous crystal or crystals of Azurite and make up what looks like the shape of a dolphin or a fish, very well placed on a base (which is the Quartz matrix). Sharp and lustrous green Dioptase crystals adorn the specimen with a darker, more intense tone.
