Description

Malachite
China

It is difficult to decide whether the "bubbly" form or the "sparkly" texture of this Malachite is the most appealing of its attributes. The sizable and highly decorative piece is presented on a black wooden base to hold the specimen securely for display. The botryoidal nature of the material really makes it striking, and this piece offers pleasing shape, intense complexity and even a window into the internal structure given an exposed 'grape' that reveals a concentric pattern with varied shades of green and matte finish.
Overall Measurements: 9.06 x 7.87 x 2.56 inches (23.00 x 20.00 x 6.50 cm)
