Polished Malachite & Chrysocolla

Item Description

A dramatically sculptural large two-sided polished malachite and chrysocolla specimen from the famous copper mines of Katanga. This fantastic piece is shaped like a mitten! Striking banding with a beautiful chatoyant shimmer overlies the starkly contrasting crackly interior of the piece. The back is decidedly different with surreal malachite "eyes" embedded in beautiful blue-green banded chrysocolla! Both sides of this piece are just so beautiful and expressive. Outstanding older material from the 1970s and 80s finds. 1192 grams or 2.6 pounds mass.
