Natural Crystalline Malachite Specimens x 4 From Tenke Fungurume, Congo
RETAIL PRICE
A NOTE FROM NICK
A tray of 4 natural crystalline Malachite specimens on Dolomite matrix. These specimens have sparkling dark green tabular crystals covering the surfaces, these are very scarce and we have only seen them twice in over 30 years of dealing directly in Congo. Actually much nicer than photographs show (late afternoon Winter sun!) 4 Very nice cabinet classic mineral specimens.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Exquisite Crystalline Malachite From The Congo
Crystalline Malachite is a visually stunning mineral known for its vivid green hues and intricate crystal formations. Unlike common botryoidal varieties, it features well-defined, needle-like crystals in drusy clusters or larger prismatic shapes, creating a sparkling, velvety appearance. Sourced from the famous Katanga region of the Congo, this mineral forms through the oxidation of copper deposits. Treasured for its vibrant color and rich heritage, it’s a coveted piece for collectors and gem enthusiasts.
