Item Description

A lovely and showy Malachite specimen from the famous Mashamba West Mine of Shaba Province, Zaire. This specimen features good quality, velvety forest to mint green Malachite "tufts" which almost have an organic appearance in their growth. It is in great shape overall, and really catches one's attention. There were a lot of these specimens found several years ago, but not nearly as many today, so if you want an attractive small cabinet display specimen of this well-known material, don't miss out on this one.
