About this specimen
A green eye stares out of the grey. The polished face on this Congo malachite is a set of concentric bands — deep jade in the tightest rings, then emerald, then a bright turquoise-green — wrapped around two off-centre bullseyes that sit exactly like pupils. Everything outside the cut is left raw: a frosted, pale sage-grey skin that shows how little had to be taken away to reach this.
Malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2, builds in fine botryoidal layers as copper-bearing water works through carbonate rock, each pulse of chemistry laying down a slightly different green. Cut across those layers and the banding reads as rings; the tighter the rings, the more slowly that part of the nodule grew. At Mohs 3.5–4 it takes a mirror polish easily and scratches just as easily, so keep it away from harder specimens in a drawer.
The piece measures 5.3 × 3.6 × 2.4 cm and weighs 160 g, shown on a clear acrylic cube that holds the polished face upright. Every photograph here is of this exact slice.
