Polished Malachite Slab
DR Congo
7.48 x 5.71 x 0.32 inches (19.00 x 14.50 x 0.82 cm)

This striking slab of Malachite displays vibrant concentric banding in vivid shades of green, with two primary polished surfaces revealing bold patterning and complex swirls. Rounded, bullseye-like structures contrast with delicate botryoidal textures along the edges, offering strong visual interest from multiple angles. A few minor surface nicks are present but do little to detract from the overall richness and graphic appeal of the piece. Sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo, this large and visually dynamic specimen stands out as both a collector's display and a natural decorative accent. This dramatic slice of Malachite would make a memorable and eye-catching addition for any interior space.
