Malachite (animal carving) standing dinosaur, outstanding, healing crystal

Description

Malachite carvings can be commonplace, rare are the real standouts, and this one is extraordinary! Dinosaurs out of Malachite are unheard of, and this one is downright cute. But what’s outrageous is the almost iridescent sheen running down the back on one (the light green) side. There are at least 3 different whorl patterns, and the whole piece is very harmonious for color all around. Length: 7.1cm; Width: 5.8cm; Depth: 2.2cm Weight: 132.3g (4.67oz) Origin: Africa, Congo
