AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Malachite is a stone with a deep green color, often characterized by bands and unique veining that ranges from light green to dark green. It is mainly quarried in Congo (the Democratic Republic of the Congo), one of the regions most renowned for the quality and beauty of malachite.

Congolese malachite boxes are valued both for their aesthetics and artisanal quality. Often crafted in geometric or rounded shapes, these boxes can be carved entirely from malachite. They are considered luxury pieces and are used as jewelry boxes, containers for small items, or simply as decorations. Being a natural material, each box is unique, and the complexity of the veining and tones adds charm to the piece.

Weight: 130g
Dimensions: 6x4x2.5 cm
