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. Through millions of years these minerals have been jumbled together revealing pieces fused to look like islands of ice in a sea of green. 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. In a sense this looks like a green Jupiter, even possessing the Great Spot. 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.
