Item Description

Surreal form and multiple green hues dramatize this remarkable large malachite stalactite from one of the famous copper-cobalt mines of DR Congo. Complete all-around and pristine, the oddly formed stalactite has good luster. A stunning, variable-width, layered multi-hued green stalactite "finger" dramatically rises above from the striking large botryoidal "knob" at the base. One side of the piece fantastically shows the green color layering of the "finger" and the layered growth of the stalactite. A captivating large 360-degree stalactite from the famous locale.
