Description

You are bidding on superb Malachite stalactites from the Mashamba West Mine at Kolwezi, Democratic Republic o the Congo. This elegant specimen has 2 gently waving, knobbly and highly glistening, deep green stalks rising up form a carpet of sparkling Malachite, covering botryoidal Malachite matrix. It is very attractive and 3-dimensional, surreal in the separation of the stalks despite their closeness upon matrix. All stalks are complete all around. If I compare this ultrafine specimen with the high priced similar pieces in the internet I should set a reserve bid.......
