This is something that I bought quite some time ago, a whale made from a polished Malachite stone, just fell in love with it the first time I saw it at the store and had to buy it. The Whale has truly great looking patterns and green color. Now that is a perfectly themed item for taking a few photos of and then posting on Steemit, don't you think...
Malachite is a very popular mineral with its intense green color and beautiful banded masses. The banded specimens are formed by massive, botryoidal, reniform, and especially stalactitic Malachite that are dense intergrowths of tiny, fibrous needles. Dense banded specimens are often sliced and polished to bring out their beautiful coloring. Polished, banded Malachite has been carved into ornaments and worn as jewelry for thousands of years, and in some ancient civilizations it was thought to be a protection from evil if worn as jewelry. - minerals.net
