Description from the seller
A sculptural piece of great visual impact: this natural malachite stands out for its free and dynamic form, fluid as if shaped by time and nature. The internal veins, sinuous and variable, create a painterly effect with plays of intense green, wavy bands, and 'map-like' structures, typical of high-quality malachite.
The surface has been skillfully polished to highlight the complexity of the internal weaves, while the rough back testifies to its natural origin and authenticity. The base is made of finely hand-carved solid wood, in an Asian style, with motifs that evoke natural elements such as waves or clouds, contributing to a harmonious and ancient elegance.
This combination of mineralogy and sculptural art makes it ideal as a decorative object for exclusive environments, galleries, design studios, or private collections.
Features:
Mineral: Natural malachite
Free, fluid, and organic.
Finish: Mirror polishing on the front, raw back part.
Assembly: Hand-carved solid wood base
Origin: Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
Category: Decorative object, artistic mineralogy, exhibition collection
Malachite, with its unmistakable green color, is a copper carbonate known for its ornamental qualities since ancient times. Its bands and concentric patterns are due to the slow processes of precipitation in copper deposits. Free-form slabs like this are rare, as they require the presence of large blocks with homogeneous quality.
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.
