Item Description

The good supply of copper minerals from the Congo should not blind you to the value of the best specimens. This beautiful small miniature display piece features a wonderful, lustrous rich forest green spherical aggregate of Malachite on a contrasting tan matrix. The "ball" measures 2.3 cm across. Great quality, hard to find on the market right now, and certainly worthwhile for any collector.
