This velvet malachite specimen shows a deep, rich green colour with a soft matte surface and fine velvety texture. The front features smooth rounded growths layered with subtle natural banding, while the surface sparkles gently under light due to its microcrystalline structure.
 
Across the piece there is strong variation in tone, ranging from dark forest green to lighter emerald highlights, giving depth and movement to the formation. The edges and underside reveal the raw porous structure of the malachite, clearly showing how the mineral formed naturally over time.
 
Velvet malachite is prized for its tactile appearance and organic growth patterns, which differ from polished or fibrous malachite varieties. This specimen has been left in its natural form, making it ideal for collectors who appreciate raw mineral textures and authentic crystal formations.
