Fibrous Malachite - D.R. Congo bringing misfortuneThis is an amazing specimen of fibrous malachite. This heavy piece, weighing almost a full pound, has little "stalagmite" type structures. This specimen is also relatively flat for its size, allowing you to display it upright! Looking at the photos, you can see multiple different textures and lots of dimension to this specimen. Malachite is such a fun mineral to collect. Specimens can come in a wide range of green hues and crystal structures.
