Malachite

Item Description

Fine, two-sided plate of primary Malachite from the renowned Copper mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. One side of this plate is composed of botryoidal clusters of Malachite, looking like forest-green cumulous clouds (or broccoli, if you prefer) from above. Remarkably, these seem to be hollow, as evidenced by the very few that are exposed. The reverse side demonstrates a completely different habit, where the Malachite has grown in a radial pattern with an iridescent luster. Both sides are attractive and interesting, so you have options any time you care to enjoy this choice and aesthetic, cabinet-sized specimen.
