Fibrous Malachite | Perky Box Thumbnail Specimen | Shaba Copper Belt, Congo | SO24

Malachite is perhaps the one of the most popular minerals for collectors due to its intense green color and sometimes beautiful banded masses. Africa contains several outstanding Malachite deposits. The mines at Katanga (Shaba), especially at Kolwezi, in the Congo (Zaire) produce Malachite in all sorts of odd shapes and forms, and are the source of the best banded, concentric, stalactitic and sparkling specimens. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

P.S. The white shiny spots are actually light reflections and are not signs of damages.
