Description
This large botryoidal Malachite cluster features rounded, layered formations with rich green colour and natural surface texture. The characteristic botryoidal growth creates smooth, dome-like shapes that flow across the surface, highlighting the mineral’s distinctive structure. Variations in tone range from deep forest green to lighter emerald hues, adding depth and visual complexity to the specimen. Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral that forms through the oxidation of copper deposits, often developing its signature banding and botryoidal surfaces over long geological periods. The raw, natural surface of this cluster preserves these growth patterns, allowing the mineral’s structure and formation process to remain clearly visible. Well-suited for serious mineral collections, educational reference, or statement display pieces, this Malachite cluster offers strong visual impact and geological significance. Its size and sculptural form make it a striking example of botryoidal mineral growth, showcasing the natural complexity and beauty of copper-based minerals.
