Malachite Two-Piece Sculpture

This wonderful sculpture is a marvelous display of malachite in its natural and polished states. The gleaming polished surfaces and the ball display its ever-mesmerizing shades of green and fascinating patterns. The unpolished portion offers insight to the natural surroundings of malachite as it is found in the earth, which would be proximal to copper ore deposits as copper is a key component of its creation. Malachite’s green pigment is so rich and true that it is used for making some green paint and dyes.

Malachite has been a treasured gemstone for centuries, valued for jewelry and ornamentally as with this unique and intriguing sculpture.
