Item Description

A flowing and beautiful, art-in-stone sculpture of three, gently curving, variably sized malachite stalactites from the famous Star of Congo Mine. Complete all-around and pristine. The broken bases reveal the radial growth banding and each has a central tube, from which the copper-rich solutions flowed to form the stalactites. Classic, artistic malachite from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
