AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
To complete your curiosity cabinet or decorate your interior,
I offer you this small collection of 4 malachite eggs ...
An egg in malachite is a collectible and decorative object carved from a fine stone of intense green, characterized by black and light-green bands and concentric circles. Most high-quality specimens come from Congo deposits.•
Symbolism of the form: Shaped as an egg, this mineral symbolizes renewal, life cycles and the potential for transformation. Its soft, continuous curves perfectly showcase the mineral’s natural patterns.
Use: Primarily used as an interior decoration item, for meditation, or to enrich a mineral collection.
Very beautiful condition, the 4 pieces together weigh 2.900 kg, the largest measures 11 cm x 8.5 cm and the smallest 6 cm x 4 cm. They weigh 1.250 kg, 1.100 kg, 0.300 kg and 0.250 kg. This leads me to think they are genuine and ancient pieces.
