Malachite Slice (the best quality!)

Item Description

At 113 grams, this is literally the best carving quality malachite that money can buy. It has the patterning, the perfection, complete rinds, and COLOR. The piece simply speaks for itself. Although not crystallized per se, this patterning within is so beautiful, that may collectors make room in their mineral cases for such amazing "slabs" cut through stalactites of species like malachite and rhodochrosite, which accent the minerals themselves by association. This is simply one of the best slices in the size range you'll ever see...it is that good. We had it in a special group of elite carving material for trying to crossmarket to the art world about a decade ago, and lost it until recently. This was valued at 1000 euros when I bought it from an elite dealer in Munich one year, long ago.
