Description from the seller
A highly spectacular specimen of natural malachite, worked and polished to highlight its unique internal structure. The smooth surfaces reveal an intricate pattern of concentric and orbital bands, with shades ranging from deep green to emerald green, and darker, more profound hues. Malachite is appreciated not only for its aesthetic and ornamental value but also as a collectible mineral and a historically used stone in art objects and decoration since ancient times. This specimen, with its sinuous shapes and bright luster, represents a perfect balance between natural geometry and chromatic harmony, making it ideal for both collectors and displays in refined interior settings or cabinet de curiosités. An piece that immediately captures the eye, offering a fascinating testament to nature's creativity.
