This is a Congolese Malachite Crystal Egg Neon Aurora Green Mineral. D.R. Congo is known throughout the world for having the finest of these gems. The egg has a superior polish. Because of this, the fine layering and striations are intense and sharp. The pointed layering lights up like a Northern Lights display, or a Mandlebrot set. There are bands of the finest striations of malachite. The entire piece has the breathtaking Congolese Green that malachite is famous for, ranging from a nearly black green to the softest light emerald imaginable. I acquired this mineral directly from the Congolese folks who handle the mining and shaping of this exquisite egg. I include a small nylon ring for setting this on.
Welcome.
