Description from the seller
Museum-Style Display of Polished Malachite & Chrysocolla Specimens – Democratic Republic of the Congo
An exquisite mineralogical arrangement featuring three high-grade polished specimens, elegantly mounted on custom black metal stands at varying heights. Originating from the world-renowned copper mines of the Katanga Crescent in the Congo, this trio showcases the remarkable beauty of secondary copper minerals in contrasting forms.
The set includes two freeforms of mixed Malachite with vibrant Chrysocolla, featuring rich sky-blue inclusions set within deep emerald-green swirling patterns, and one central diamond-shaped banded Malachite displaying crisp, concentric "bullseye" growth rings. Every specimen has been hand-polished to a high mirror finish to reveal its complex orbicular geometry and vivid color contrasts. The sleek, minimalist metal stand elevates the ensemble into a museum-quality centerpiece for high-end interiors and serious mineral collections.
Features:
Type: Group of 3 distinct polished mineral specimens
Composition: 2 Malachite with Chrysocolla freeforms and 1 pure banded Malachite
Display: Mounted on custom black metal stands at staggered heights on a single base
Origin: Democratic Republic of the Congo (Katanga Region)
