Sculptural Malachite

SKU: GD-I1209W Category:

Vivid shades of green weave together magnificent patterns and textures in this sculptural malachite beauty. 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 as if floating above the custom lustrous black base, every curve, crevice, and remarkable crystalline structure is visible. A gorgeous showstopper, this specimen adds drama and elegance to the most sophisticated décor.
