Fantastic Malachite Bowl, or Font

Here we have an extrordinary piece of Malachite, fashioned into a bowl or font. This really has to be seen to be appreciated. 
The particulars on this is that it was purchased at an auction years ago from a dealer in mineral by a friend of mine. It was, at that time,
stated it was the largest Malachite bowl in the United States. The other one is in the Smithsonian it was stated. I do not know if this is true, but the man
was knowlegeable in such mineral matters, so it probably is true. Whatever, this piece is gorgeous. It certainly is the largest piece I have seen.

It weighs  73 pounds (33 Kilos). The center bowl is polished. The dimensions are 13" high x 20" wide by 4"-5" deep. The main thing here is the size, more than the sum of the total points, the price is for the impression it makes on the emotions and mind.

I am not sure how this will be shipped, I believe it weighs too much for UPS.  But it will be figured out at the time of the sale.
Here is your chance to have something really spectacular! You can get an idea of the size of this by the hand in the photo.
