Item Description

A stunning, sculptural slice of two polished malachite "eyes" from one of the famous copper mines of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Both sides of this slab have beautiful form and dramatic concentric color bands. This striking piece has three very clean repairs. We do not buy many of these, but this was a very choice piece.
