This dynamic blend of blue and green colors creates an attractive and beautiful stone that is not frequently available. Most of the Malacolla material is hand-polished in the Congo, highlighting the artisanal craftsmanship involved in its creation. Large decorative items made from Malacolla are exceptionally rare due to the limited availability of sizable rough blocks suitable for polishing, making these pieces highly sought after by collectors and artisans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMalachite, Chrysocolla \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMonoclinic, Banded, Botryoidal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT COLOUR \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eBlue, Green, Turquoise \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e2 to 4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLocality = Congo\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Very Good to A Grade\u003cbr\u003eSize = 91 - 160 mm \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MALACHITE - Flower Banded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50085750472897,"sku":"181-336-260326BM","price":2912.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/181336_4.jpg?v=1774854999","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/polished-flower-banded-malachite-free-forms-x-2-from-congo-15","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
