Malachite | Polished Ornamental Stone | 161 Grams | Shaba Copper Belt, Congo | SO24

This is a beautiful polished free form of Malachite from the Democratic Republic of Congo.  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.

Polished Malachite

Nice genuine malachite. A lot of painted phonies out there. Trump, for one.
