Malachite Carved Egg with Brass Stand

A truly distinctive piece that captures malachite in two of its most striking forms within a single egg. The upper half erupts in a field of botryoidal clusters, vivid emerald green rosettes sitting proud of the surface like a coral reef frozen in stone. Below, the texture transitions to a smoother, vein-mapped surface with flowing crackle patterns in deep and pale green, creating a dramatic natural contrast from top to bottom.

This dual-texture character makes it genuinely rare among carved malachite eggs. Here you get the wild, uncut energy of the mineral alongside the refined elegance of the shaped and smoothed form, both in one piece.

Presented on an ornate cast brass stand with scrollwork legs and winged figural accents, ready to display as shown.
