Description from the seller
An elegant natural sculpture combining two minerals with a powerful aesthetic and symbolic impact: malachite, with its hypnotic dark green bands, and chrysocolla, whose blue and turquoise shades lend a touch of brightness and freshness. This mineral combination comes from the Congo, a land rich in copper deposits from which both minerals originate. Malachite arises from the oxidation of copper deposits and is recognized by its concentric patterns and vivid, almost painterly veining. Chrysocolla, also copper-based, develops as a filler in cavities and fractures, offering hues 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. From a metaphysical perspective, this combination is considered a bridge between earthly energy and spiritual fluidity: malachite, a "stone of transformation," promotes change and inner growth, while chrysocolla, linked to the throat chakra, stimulates authentic communication, calm, and creativity. Together, these two forces bring balance, harmony, and protection. Mounted on a decorative wood and brass base, this piece becomes a refined decorative object: perfect for studies, living rooms, and valuable mineralogical collections.
