The Most Wanted Form of Malachite
Velvet malachite owes its name to the special surface consisting of countless microscopic crystals. This creates a soft, almost velvety appearance that absorbs and reflects light in a unique way.
The intense dark green color of this specimen is among the most beautiful found in Malachite. It is precisely this deep, saturated color that makes Velvet Malachite so beloved among connoisseurs and collectors worldwide.
A mineral with exceptional value appreciation
Malachite has developed into one of the strongest risers in the mineral world over the past ten years. While high-quality malachite was still trading for around $45 per kilo , prices nowadays often range between $85 and $145 per kilo, with top pieces like this one fetching the highest valuations.
The combination of decreasing availability, increasing demand, and the exceptional beauty of high-quality Congolese Malachite means that such pieces are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.
