Description from the seller

A superb natural Malachite sphere featuring outstanding botryoidal formations and classic concentric banding. This high-quality specimen displays rich emerald-green tones with beautifully defined circular “eye” patterns across the surface, creating a striking three-dimensional effect.
One side reveals intricate orbicular structures with natural matrix accents, while the opposite area showcases elegant flowing bands typical of premium Malachite. The polish is excellent, enhancing the depth, contrast, and vibrant luster of the stone.
The sphere’s large size and impressive weight make it a strong decorative statement piece as well as a desirable collector’s specimen. The balance between banded and botryoidal textures adds significant visual interest and uniqueness.
