Sculptural Malachite
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.
