Specimen No. 239

Fibrous Malachite

Democratic Republic of Congo

Fibrous malachite specimens displaying silky, radiating crystal structures with rich emerald to deep forest green coloration. These pieces often exhibit chatoyant (cat’s eye) effects, with fine needle-like crystal growth creating a soft, luminous sheen across the surface.

Sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a world-renowned locality for high-quality malachite, these specimens are prized for their texture, depth, and intricate natural formation. The fibrous habit adds a dynamic, almost velvety appearance that shifts subtly in changing light.

Each piece will vary in structure, density, and intensity of chatoyancy, making every specimen uniquely expressive.

Composition: Copper Carbonate Hydroxide (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂)
