PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Exquisite Crystalline Malachite From The Congo
Crystalline Malachite is a highly prized and visually stunning mineral, renowned for its bright green hues and intricate crystal formations. Unlike the more common botryoidal or banded varieties, crystalline Malachite features well-defined, needle-like crystals that form in drusy clusters or larger prismatic shapes. These formations give the mineral a sparkling, almost velvety appearance, making each specimen a remarkable display of nature's craftsmanship.
The Congo, particularly the Katanga region, is famous for producing some of the world’s best crystalline Malachite specimens. The mineral forms through the oxidation of copper deposits, often growing in association with other minerals like Azurite, Chrysocolla, or Shattuckite, further enhancing its appeal. Crystalline Malachite from this region is treasured for its vibrant color, intricate crystal structures, and rich mineral heritage, making it a coveted piece for mineral collectors and gem enthusiasts.
