Raw Edged Malachite Slab

There are several different forms in which malachite grows. One fascinating structure is stalactites. These are often sliced into slabs and polished to showcase the painterly wave-like patterns within the stone. This piece offers a stunning example of this material. The varying layers and concentric circular patters of malachite create a stunning visual appearance. They are fascinating to examine closely, which reveals subtle chatoyancy. Dark jungle greens layer delicately with pastel mints and rich emerald shades. Both sides have their own distinctive pattering. The raw edges help showcase the natural way malachite forms. One area has a subtle druzy quality to it. It would be a stand-out mineral to add to your crystal collection. It measures approximately 3.90 in. x 3.67 in. x .55 in. and weighs approximately 10.6oz.
