Already polished to bring out the depth, these Congolese malachite pieces show the rich green banding, swirls, and bullseye patterns that make this copper mineral a perennial favorite. Malachite is a copper carbonate that forms as copper deposits oxidize, building up its signature concentric layers. This material comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, long regarded as a source of some of the world's finest malachite.
