Malachite with chrysocolla sculpture on a wood and brass base from Congo, measuring 80 mm wide, 50 mm deep and 20 mm high, and weighing 1148 g.
Description from the seller
An elegant natural sculpture that unites two minerals with a strong aesthetic and symbolic impact: malachite, with its hypnotic dark green bands, and chrysocolla, which with its blues and turquoises provides a touch of luminosity and freshness. This mineral association comes from the Congo, a land rich in copper ore deposits from which both minerals form. Malachite is born from the oxidation of copper-bearing deposits and is recognizable by its concentric patterns and vivid veins, almost painterly. Chrysocolla, also linked to copper, develops as filling in cavities and fractures, offering tones ranging from sky blue to turquoise. Together they create a mineral landscape that seems painted by nature itself, a contrast of depth and lightness, solidity and fluidity. From a metaphysical point of view, this combination is considered a bridge between earthly energy and spiritual fluidity: malachite, “stone of transformation,” favors change and inner growth, while chrysocolla, tied to the throat chakra, stimulates authentic communication, calm and creativity. United, these two forces provide balance, harmony and protection. Mounted on a decorative wood and brass base, this specimen becomes a refined furnishing object: perfect for studies, living rooms and prestigious mineral collections.
