These are some of the most striking malachite specimens to come out of the Kolwezi Mine in the Congo. Unlike the usual spherical or mammillary formations, this specimen showcases well-defined, fibrous "needle-like" crystals that are intergrown and free of matrix. Some of these crystals form delicate, tuft-like clusters. The deep emerald-green hue, combined with its velvety chatoyancy, makes this a highly sought-after and visually captivating example of this classic mineral.
