AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Malachite fibrosa – Democratic Republic of the Congo
Important specimen of fibrous malachite from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, characterized by a rich growth of crystalline aggregates of deep green color.
The surface features numerous fibrous formations arranged in tufts and small rosettes, clearly visible especially along the edges and in the cavities of the sample. In the central areas, the malachite forms more compact aggregates, with a finely crystalline texture and a velvety appearance.
The different growth modalities create a highly articulated and three-dimensional surface, with tones ranging from bright green to darker green. The natural matrix, visible on the back and in some side areas, shows brownish tones that create a marked contrast with the malachite.
A specimen of notable presence, interesting both for the variety of crystallizations and for the intense natural coloration.
Weight: 1.167 kg
Dimensions: 13.5 × 10 × 10.5 cm
Origin: Democratic Republic of the Congo
