Malachite Museum Piece from the Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) – Super-large Masterpiece of 23.35 Kilos
This exceptional piece of malachite belongs to the absolute top of what is still available on the market today. Weighing no less than 23.35 kilograms and measuring 20 x 42 x 33 cm, this is an impressive, museum-worthy specimen that immediately draws all attention.
During the famous Tucson Fair of 2026, this was undoubtedly one of the largest and most impressive pieces of malachite offered. Large masterpieces of this quality are becoming increasingly scarce, making such specimens highly sought after by collectors, investors, and enthusiasts of exclusive minerals.
One of the strongest price risers of the last decade
Malachite is undoubtedly one of the minerals that has experienced the largest price increase over the past ten years. While high-quality malachite was still available for about $45 per kilo, prices today often range between $85 and $145 per kilo for the finest quality.
The combination of decreasing availability, increasing demand, and the spectacular appearance of the mineral has made masterpieces like this increasingly difficult to find.
Spectacular Structures and deep green colors
This impressive specimen displays the characteristic deep green hues and the beautiful natural band structures for which malachite is known worldwide. The glossy surfaces and fine patterns create a vibrant interplay of color and depth that continues to fascinate from every angle.
Due to its enormous size, this piece is not only a collector's item but also an exclusive decorative artwork for a prestigious space, gallery, or high-quality mineral collection.

The Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) has been known for decades as the premier source of the most beautiful malachite in the world. The rich copper deposits from this region yield specimens with exceptional color intensity and a characteristic pattern that is highly valued internationally.
