Item Description

When it comes to Malachite, the Katanga Copper Crescent has given us some of the most striking and iconic specimens known. This small cabinet is filled with beautiful forest green semi-spherical aggregates with a lovely sparkling luster. I really like the depth and three-dimensional quality of the piece, it's not just a flat "plate". Very good condition on the display side, only a few tiny bruises. Classic material and among the most recognized mineral specimens in the world. From a prominent Midwest collection that we acquired over the summer.
