Price reduced. Malachite Small Box Size: Approximately 3.2cm (length) Approximately 4.0cm (width) Weight: 48.9g Purchased from a long-established fossil and mineral shop in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I fell in love with its beauty at first sight. The vivid green color comes from copper and has various uses. I remembered seeing it used extensively in the furnishings of the Habsburg and Romanov families at an art exhibition I attended before. I believe its beauty was also a source of admiration for royalty.
