Item Description

A very good quality and eye-catching Malachite from Shilu showing dual coloration - forest green on one side and mint green on the other - featuring several botryoidal aggregates with striking velvety luster. The piece almost looks as though it should be something organic because one does not often encounter something with this appearance in a mineral.
