Welcome.
This is a Congolese Malachite Egg. 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 top has a cap of fine, concentric rings in the rough shape of a heart. The entire piece has the breathtaking green Congolese malachite is famous for. I acquired this mineral directly from the Congolese folks who handled the mining and shaping of this exquisite egg. I include a small nylon ring for setting this on.
The approximate dimensions are:
Height - 2 inches
