Item Description

Gorgeous, shimmering, chatoyant sheaves of rich green primary malachite needles are aesthetically intergrown on this this striking, excellent and rare minature. We believe this cutie is from this obscure deposit in the Republic of Congo, rather than from the numerous famous copper mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, after examining the MINDAT Malachite Photo Galleries for both countries. Ex Joe Lobell Collection of Oklahoma.
