Sculptural Malachite

Vivid shades of green weave together magnificent patterns in this dramatic sculptural malachite stunner. Hailing from the Democratic Republic of Congo, part of Africa’s famed Copperbelt, this specimen is a striking example of the banded copper carbonate mineral Cu2(CO3)(OH)2. Prized by ancient cultures for its beauty, malachite has been used as a pigment, for its healing properties, in jewelry and décor. Displayed on a custom, lustrous, black base every angle is on show, a lapidary work of art for any space.
