Item Description

A good quality Malachite from Shilu showing attractive forest green coloration on the top and a lighter mint green underneath cosisting of semi-botryoidal aggregates forming a specimen with an attractive overall appearance. If you rotate the piece in the light, you can see it's rather chatoyant and glistens like a green piece of Tiger's Eye. The piece almost looks as though it should be something organic because one does not often encounter something with this appearance in a mineral.
