Description from the seller

A beautifully polished malachite from the famous Katanga Copper Crescent, DR Congo, displaying an exceptional eye pattern with numerous well-defined concentric orbs of varying sizes. The vivid green banding and striking orbicular structure create an outstanding natural design that makes each specimen unique.

Polished on both sides to reveal the internal structure, the reverse also preserves attractive natural vugs and drusy cavities formed during mineral growth, adding character and emphasizing its natural origin. An excellent collector's specimen showcasing one of malachite's most desirable patterns.
