PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Malacolla: A Beautiful Blend of Malachite and Chrysocolla
Malacolla is a unique combination of Malachite and Chrysocolla, resulting in a solid material that is often ideal for polishing and jewelry-making. This dynamic blend of blue and green colors creates an attractive and beautiful stone that is not frequently available. Most of the Malacolla material is hand-polished in the Congo, highlighting the artisanal craftsmanship involved in its creation. Large decorative items made from Malacolla are exceptionally rare due to the limited availability of sizable rough blocks suitable for polishing, making these pieces highly sought after by collectors and artisans alike.
