This is a high grade show piece. Size: ~6 x 4 x 1.5" (with a taper) Weight: >2 lbs Origin: DR Congo circa 2004 Malachite has many beneficial properties, such as prosperity and protection. I associate this piece with strongly with protection; it's like a shield against negativity and a grounding rod. Most of my rocks were directly traded, but my Congo rocks were brought to friends outside the Congo, before being sent to me (because of safety issues). Not direct, but fairly traded.
