Item Description

High quality and eye-catching, this shimmering Malachite from Shilu has great botryoidal form. The coloration ranges from a deep forest-green with outstanding shimmer (MUCH better in person) to an almost iridescent green along the edges where the radial growth is exposed. The largest of these botryoids is 2.6 cm across, and the almost organic look is one of the hallmarks of Shilu Malachites. The very deep color and the highly reflective, velvety luster make this cabinet piece super aesthetic. It is hard to convey in photos, but these Chinese specimens hav ea surface distinctly beautiful, and quite different than African material. valued $1500
