PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Stunning Sphenoid Crystalline Malachite Balls on Quartz-Feldspar Matrix
Ball Malachite refers to a distinctive formation of malachite where the mineral crystallizes into spherical, rounded masses, often resembling small, smooth balls or nodules. This unique form typically displays the vibrant green hues that malachite is known for, with patterns ranging from solid green to concentric banding. The spherical structures can be smooth or botryoidal (resembling grape-like clusters), and the malachite may exhibit a polished luster or a more fibrous, silky texture, depending on its growth environment.
