This block of malachite on its mini base comes from the Congo, from the province of Katanga.
It has been polished to reveal the multitude of shades of green it contains.
Since ancient times, malachite has been used as a pigment in paint for its light and luminous blue-green tones, especially in the painting of icons.
Pline quotes it for the first time in AD 77. JC.
