Description from the seller

Beautiful specimen of malachite, characterized by a velvety texture - "velvet" -
The piece presents a classic botryoidal growth, with rounded shapes.
The peculiarity of this piece lies in the surface: in several spots light reveals a silky sheen and at the same time a velvety appearance.
This effect is due to the presence of micro-fibrous crystalline aggregates that give the deep forest green typical of malachite a brightness and a visual softness unique, highly appreciated by collectors of aesthetic minerals.

!!! No reserve price !!!

Provenance: Congo
Weight: 116 g (without base)
Measurements: cm 5x4x7 (without base)

The base is not included in the weight and dimensions
