Description from the seller

An elegant natural sculpture that merges two minerals with strong aesthetic and symbolic impact: malachite, with its hypnotic dark green bands, and chrysocolla, which with its blues and turquoises adds a touch of luminosity and freshness. This mineral association comes from the Congo, a land rich in copper deposits from which both minerals form. Malachite is born from the oxidation of copper-rich deposits and is recognizable by its concentric patterns and vivid veins, almost painterly. Chrysocolla, also copper-related, develops as filling in cavities and fractures, yielding tones ranging from sky blue to aqua green. Together they create a mineral landscape that seems painted by nature itself, a contrast of depth and lightness, solidity and fluidity. Metaphysically, this combination is considered a bridge between earthly energy and spiritual fluidity: malachite, “stone of transformation,” fosters change and inner growth, while chrysocolla, linked to the throat chakra, stimulates authentic communication, calm, and creativity. United, these two forces offer balance, harmony, and protection. Mounted on a decorative wood and brass base, this specimen becomes a refined decorative object: perfect for studies, living rooms, and prestigious mineral collections.

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
