Item Description
A fine quality malachite from Shilu showing dual coloration - beautiful velvety, forest-green botryoids on the top and striking, dense, mint-green banded malachite on the sides with super-intense, shimmering, chatoyant 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. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
