PRODUCT INFORMATION
General Description
Medium-sized hand-polished free forms from the Congo, boasting exceptional colours and patterns! Malachite, a vibrant green Copper Carbonate Hydroxide mineral, holds a rich history as one of the earliest ores used in Copper production. Sourced from the Congo, where mining for its Copper content is extensive, obtaining specimen-grade material proves challenging. Malachite's varied habits range from botryoidal to silky and stalactite-like forms, each showcasing its unique allure. The density of the material affects the weight-to-size ratio, with highly dense banded or flower-patterned specimens ideal for cutting. However, the polishing process incurs significant loss, making the polished price per kg relatively high. Price varies based on grade. Items as shown.Product Data
