Item Description

A nice quality and Malachite from Shilu showing attractive coloration - forest green on the bottom and mint green on the top - featuring several botryoidal aggregates forming a specimen that resembles a floret of broccoli or even a "brain". The piece almost looks as though it should be something organic because one does not often encounter something with this appearance in a mineral.
