Item Description

Old-time, sculptural rich green botryoidal malachite from Russia, generally from Tsarist days and the 1700s-1800s. Two striking generations of botryoids cover the banded malachite. The smaller botryoids look like striking bulging green "eyes" on the larger botryoids! This fine piece is from the famous Demidoff Copper Mine in the Urals, source of large quantities of malachite for ornamental use during the Imperial Russia era, prior to World War I. Classic and excellent old-time carving grade malachite from Russia.Valued $900-1200
