Item Description

A very aesthetic and sculptural CABINET crust of undulating, bubbly, botryoidal malachite from the famous Star of Congo Mine. This dramatic piece is highlighted by the hole and is beautifully accented with a rich dusting of sparkly, primary malachite microcrystals in the interstices between the botryroids. Pristine, except for trivial periphery wear. Classic malachite from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
