Item Description
Striking intergrown sliced and polished malachite stalactites from 1970s or 80s finds at the famous copper mines of Kolwezi. The impressive pair have dense colorful multi-hued green banding that surrounds the dramatic cores of the stalactites. One stalactite has two fantastic "eyes", while the other has a very large oval "eye" with striking pits. The partially chipped outer rim on both stalactites is certainly only a modest detraction. A classic and amazingly artistic intergrown sliced pair of malachite stalactites.
