Description from the seller
This spectacular specimen of excellent quality Malachite Chrysocolla reminds us of the features of a post-modern sculpture.
The sinuous curves, the perfect blend of shades, the fascinating and hypnotic veining, everything in this masterpiece of nature cannot fail to leave you amazed.
The artistic base, finely crafted in burnished wood and satin-finished brass, perfectly matches the shape of the mineral, enhancing its imposing visual effect.
This extra-quality specimen comes from the Etoile mine (also known as the Star mine), an open-pit copper mine on the outskirts of Lubumbashi in the Katanga province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The finest specimens of malachite are extracted from this mine, as well as rare examples of the two minerals combined.
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.
