About this specimen

Dimensions: 3.6 × 2.3 × 1.7 cm (1.42 × 0.91 × 0.67 in); longest edge 36 mm (1.42 in).

Dense velvet malachite forms a compact freestanding specimen with an exceptionally dark green surface. Under moving light, the fine fibers produce a cat’s-eye shimmer and reveal brighter emerald zones within the near-black body. Both sides carry displayable texture, while a rounded crest and low side projection give the piece an organic silhouette. It measures approximately 3.6 × 2.3 × 1.7 cm and is best appreciated under a focused lamp that can animate its silky luster.

Estimated weight: 13 g / 0.46 oz, based on the approximate dimensions.
