A natural malachite pyramid crafted in mosaic to showcase concentric veins and wave patterns from Congo.
Description from the seller
Pyramid made entirely of natural malachite with the refined mosaic technique, an artisanal method that combines small carefully selected and polished stone fragments to form a compact and continuous surface. Each fragment is chosen for its concentric veins and characteristic wavy patterns, making each side of the pyramid unique and unrepeatable. Malachite, a basic copper carbonate, is one of the most iconic and recognizable minerals for its intense green color and concentric banded patterns that resemble the textures of a forest or the growth of a plant. It forms in copper deposits through secondary precipitation from hydrothermal solutions and has been appreciated since antiquity as an ornamental and symbolic stone. The earliest malachite works date back to Pharaonic Egypt, where it was used both as a green pigment and as a sacred material dedicated to the goddess Hathor.
