Malachite Carved Egg with Brass Stand

A captivating piece that's equal parts natural wonder and decorative object. This polished malachite egg showcases a striking radial pattern, fibrous, silky striations fan outward from a central point like a sunburst, interwoven with a mosaic of lighter botryoidal clusters across the surface. The effect is almost organic, like something between moss, coral, and weathered stone, all rendered in deep forest and bright emerald green. The smooth, polish finish gives the egg a glossy sheen that shifts beautifully in changing light, revealing new detail at every angle. Presented on an ornate cast brass display stand with scrollwork legs and winged figural accents, this piece is ready to display exactly as shown. The warm gold tones of the brass create a rich contrast against the cool greens of the stone, lending the whole piece an antique, cabinet-of-curiosities elegance. A natural conversation piece that works equally well in a collector's display, on a writing desk, or as a distinctive home accent. 2 3/4 x 2" 338g
