Sculptural Malachite

SKU: GD-I1197W Category:

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.
