Item Description

Marvelous high quality on this stunning polished two-sided malachite slice, cut from thick section of parallel stalactites from the famous mines of the Katanga Copper Crescent.

The contrast of the eye colors, eye shapes and dense variable banding on the two sides is remarkable. This is an outstanding and beautiful two-sided slice in this size range. 320 grams mass and easily displayable next to well-crystallized specimens.
