AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The piece displays the classic concentric rings and 'eyes' characteristic of high-quality malachite. These patterns are formed by the growth of mineral layers over time, and it features a rich range of greens, from a bright emerald green to almost black tones, creating a deep and organic contrast.
It has an irregular and organic shape, preserving the original form of the mineral nodule. The center has been hollowed out and polished to create a concavity, which allows its use as an ashtray or decorative bowl for small objects.
The finish is high-gloss, which highlights the stone's internal structure and gives it a smooth feel to the touch.
