Item Description

Shimmering spherical aggregates of gemmy, emerald-green primary malachite needles fill the sculptural vug on this dramatic and colorful large combination from Kambove. The powder-blue chrysocolla banding around the vug adds real color and contrast to this fine piece. This is an uncommon malachite style from this district.
