Item Description
An attention getting CABINET plate of furrowed-looking, parallel-growth, rich green, malachite botryoids from recent finds from one of the numerous copper mines near Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of Congo. The overall quality of this dramatic plate is minimally impacted by the scattered light bruising. Half of the back side is covered with sparkly malachite as a bonus on this very sculptural large specimen. Valued at $400-600.
