Fibrous Malachite Specimen (15–35mm) – Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

Discover the intricate beauty of nature with these Fibrous Malachite Specimens sourced from the renowned mineral deposits of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Measuring approximately 15–35mm, each specimen ranges in size from about a South African 20-cent coin to an R5 coin, making them ideal for collectors, display cases, educational collections, and mineral enthusiasts.

Unlike polished malachite, these natural specimens showcase the mineral's distinctive fibrous crystal structure, creating a silky texture with rich bands and vibrant shades of green. Each piece is completely unique, displaying its own combination of crystal growth, patterns, and colour variations formed naturally over millions of years.

These authentic malachite specimens make an excellent addition to mineral collections, geology displays, classrooms, or curiosity cabinets. Their compact size also makes them perfect for macro photography, identification collections, or gifting to anyone with an interest in minerals and natural history.

Because these are natural specimens, every piece will vary slightly in shape, fibre formation, colour intensity, and overall appearance, ensuring that no two are exactly alike.
