A NOTE FROM NICK
This is a Very Impressive 30 cm Wide, 7.35 kg Extra Large Botryoidal Stalagmitic Malachite Show Specimen with layers of Blue Chrysocolla under the Crystalline Green Malachite Surface.  A REALLY large piece for a cabinet and certainly not too shabby for a Museum Collection. 

Botryoidal Malachite: Nature’s Sculpted Green Gem

Botryoidal Malachite from the Congo is a variety of Malachite found in the oxidized zones of Copper deposits, known for its distinctive, rounded, bubble-like formations that resemble grape clusters. This rich green Copper Carbonate mineral is highly valued for its smooth, often semi-crystalline surface, displaying concentric and ring patterns in varying shades of green. Some specimens even exhibit chatoyancy on the "meaty" part of the matrix, making them highly sought after for lapidary work and designer jewelry. However, it's important to appreciate their natural beauty and avoid cutting up exceptional specimens.
