Item Description

A good quality Malachite from Shilu showing attractive coloration - forest green on the top and mint green on the bottom - featuring botryoidal aggregates forming a specimen that resembles a floret of broccoli or even a "brain". The piece almost looks as though it should be something organic because one does not often encounter something with this appearance in a mineral.
