AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An unusual and decorative object, entirely executed in the characteristic deep green tones of malachite.
This elegant obelisk sits on a richly built, architectural plinth and is composed of carefully polished malachite pieces. The combination of the slender obelisk shape, the stepped foot, and the decorative elements around the plinth gives the piece a classical and monumental appearance.
The malachite displays a very attractive natural pattern with flowing bands, concentric patterns and various shades from emerald green to dark green. Because of the different stone patterns, the object looks different from every angle.
The polished surfaces make the color and structure of the malachite stand out particularly nicely. The base also features beautifully drawn parts with a more organic and fine-meshed pattern, adding a lot of detail to the object.
The piece originates from Idar-Oberstein, Germany, internationally renowned for its long tradition in gemstones, minerals and lapidary, and was purchased from a specialized gemstone wholesaler.
A beautiful collectible for enthusiasts of malachite, minerals, natural stone, curiosities and exclusive interior decoration. Due to its compact size it is easy to present in a display case, on a desk, console, sideboard, or among a mineral collection.
