Item Details
Description
A CHARMING 19TH CENTURY FRENCH CARVED MALACHITE GILT MOUNTED VESTA CASE of naturalistic form. 6.25 cm x 2.25 cm. Note: Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, with the formula Cu2CO3(OH)2. This opaque, green-banded mineral crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, and most often forms botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses, in fractures and deep, underground spaces, where the water table and hydrothermal fluids provide the means for chemical precipitation. Individual crystals are rare, but occur as slender to acicular prisms. Pseudomorphs after more tabular or blocky azurite crystals also occur.
