Lotto composto da tre splendidi esemplari di malachite naturale provenienti da due delle località più iconiche per questo minerale: la leggendaria Tsumeb Mine in Namibia e il ricco Katanga Copperbelt nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo.

• Peso: 181,45 g – Dimensioni: 9 × 6,5 × 2,5 cm

• Peso: 30 g – Dimensioni: 4 × 2,5 × 2 cm
