Beautiful piece of natural malachite from the Ruashi mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, acquired at the Ruashi market in Lubumbashi.
The piece features a botryoidal sculptural formation and stalactite-like formations, an exceptional sculpture.
Particularly interesting, with numerous natural reliefs.
