28.70 Ct. Cabochon Malachite from Russia

There is a kind of green that speaks in poems, a bluish green that seems to hold the hush of pine forests and the deep hush of ocean eddies, and in our hands that green becomes this single, perfect malachite cabochon. This gem weighs 28.70 carats, shaped to a gentle oval that measures 18.15 x 18.10 x 8.97 mm, an intimate body of stone that catches the eye and keeps it. The surface is thoroughly polished to an excellent sheen, so the concentric bands within the stone read like secret cartographies, each ring a story, each band a memory. Opaque, vivid in color, and free from any enhancement, this malachite arrives to you true to its origin in Russia, a natural piece that carries the cool, ancient language of the earth. At The Natural Gemstone Company we treasure stones like this, because they do more than decorate, they whisper, they promise, they become part of a life.

Under gentle inspection, the clarity of this gem is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, inclusions that do not detract from its beauty but rather add character like tiny fingerprints of the earth. The cabochon cut elevates the stone, creating a domed silhouette that invites touch and contemplation, and that allows the vivid color intensity to sing without distraction. The polish is so fine that light glides across the dome in a slow, sensual arc, revealing those hypnotic, layered patterns that are the hallmark of exceptional malachite. Because there has been no enhancement, what you see is what the stone was born with, natural and honest. For those who understand gemstones as living artworks, this malachite offers both the integrity of provenance and the drama of visual poetry.

Think of this piece set as a ring that sits like a green moon above a hand, or as a pendant that rests against the chest like a private talisman. Its weight, nearly 29 carats, gives it presence without heaviness, and its oval form lends itself to a variety of settings that can be tailored to the wearer. A bezel will frame the stone in a loving, protective band that emphasizes the smooth dome, while more open settings will allow the light to play across the bands and deepen the green into near black at certain angles. As an engagement piece it is unconventional and deeply personal, perfect for a promise that favors uniqueness over tradition. As an heirloom it will gather touch and time, the polish softening only in memory and affection. Made for the artisan who will craft a setting to honor its size and shape, this malachite invites collaboration between gem and maker, so that the final piece sings with both design and nature.
