AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This magnificent sphere has been carved from a large block of natural Malachite sourced from the rich mines of Congo. Of the highest quality, this sphere represents the utmost elegance and charm that Malachite can offer.
Malachite is a secondary mineral, formed in copper deposits through oxidation. It typically develops in environments rich in carbonates and sulfates, creating spectacular concentric layers and unique patterns that make it immediately recognizable.
This sphere displays intense shades of green, ranging from emerald green to darker green, with intricate bands and vortices that create a hypnotic natural design. These patterns are the result of the layer-by-layer deposition process that occurs over thousands of years.
Malachite is often associated with protection, transformation, and positive energy. It is believed to bring emotional balance and strengthen the bond with nature.
Perfect for collectors and mineral enthusiasts, this sphere is ideal as a central piece for elegant displays, adding a touch of natural luxury to any environment.
