Item Description

A stunning malachite stalactite next to an an attention getting mounded knob of sparkly, rich green, bubbly, malachite botryoids from Katanga. This dramatic and sculptural piece looks like a saguaro cactus next to a large boulder of rounded rock. Essentially pristine, a bit of trivial rubbing is noted (mostly on one side), but is certainly not a detraction. One of the most artful Katanga malachite stalactites you will see. It looks great from either side!! Valued at $750 and worth it.
