Item Description

A GORGEOUS and AESTETHIC cluster of graduated length, rounded tip, malachite stalactites beautifully set on mounded, botryoidal malachite matrix from recent finds at Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of Congo. The malachite has scintillating luster. The overall impact of this dramatic piece is not diminished by the small, broken tip of the right stalactite and the out of sight broken stalactite on the back. Valued at $1250 for quality and perfection. Not many this good have been available.
