Description

A wonderful malachite slab, cut and polished at both sides, where the alternating concentric layers of different green hues are perfectly exposed. In this case, the difference in green colours is greater than in other specimens, where the green hues are similar. This results in a great contrast. Furthermore, interesting linear inclusions of black heterogenite are observable inside the rings, which is uncommon.

Cut from a stalactite, with the surface coated by black heterogenite, that collected by Achiel Moors, a Belgian colonist in the DR Congo from 1957 to 1972.
