34.79 Ct. Cabochon Malachite from Russia

One exceptional and rare cabochon comes to you from an esteemed Russian source, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. This is a single, opaque green malachite weighing 34.79 carat, rendered in a precise round shape and measuring 19.98 by 19.98 by 10.36 millimeters. The stone has been fashioned with a classic cabochon cut, offering a smooth domed surface that captures light and showcases its medium intense green hue. Clarity is evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, a testament to its natural origin and authenticity. The polish is excellent, lending a glossy, jewel like finish that reads as luxurious and refined. No enhancement has been applied, ensuring that the colour, texture, and presence you see are untouched by treatment, a rare quality that discerning collectors and bespoke designers prize.

For custom jewellery this malachite is exceptionally well suited thanks to its generous size and flawless round geometry. At nearly 20 millimeters across and over 10 millimeters high, the stone occupies an ideal footprint for signature rings that demand presence without the need for elaborate mounting to achieve balance. A bold ring design will allow the cabochon dome to sit elegantly above the finger, giving a tactile and sculptural feel that draws the eye. The same scale makes the gem perfect for statement pendants, where the round silhouette can be centered within collar style or long drop settings, or for a bespoke brooch where the dome acts as a central motif. The regular round outline simplifies the design process, allowing goldsmiths and jewellers to focus on creative metalwork, setting details, and bespoke engraving, rather than custom bezels or stone shaping. For those commissioning a one of a kind piece, this malachite offers a rare combination of immediate visual impact and straightforward setting options that preserve the stone as the main attraction.

Visually the gem presents a serene and even green, its medium intense colour bringing warmth and depth without overpowering a design. The cabochon shape accentuates the surface sheen and depth of colour, revealing subtle internal character on close inspection, characteristics which confirm its natural origin and add personality to any finished piece. The very slightly included clarity grade at eye level means that the stone retains a clean face when viewed from a comfortable distance, while close inspection will reveal small natural inclusions that are often celebrated by collectors as evidence of authenticity and provenance. The excellent polish enhances the malachite s visual appeal, creating reflections that emphasize the dome and give a soft luminous quality to the green. Because no enhancement has been performed, the colour and finish are stable and will patinate gracefully with thoughtful wear. This malachite responds beautifully to classic hand crafted settings in yellow gold, which will warm the green, as well as to cool white gold and platinum for a modern, minimalist aesthetic. For bespoke projects, this versatility allows the stone to inhabit designs ranging from heritage inspired to contemporary avant garde.

Owning this single Russian malachite means possessing a distinct and limited treasure. At 34.79 carat this cabochon is not a run of the mill specimen, it is a solitary gem that invites a bespoke approach and will likely never be duplicated. The Natural Gemstone Company presents it as an invitation to join a select group of connoisseurs who choose materials that tell a story and become the centerpiece of custom jewellery that is conceived, crafted, and cherished for generations. We encourage clients to consider this malachite for a designed to order piece, where our network of artisans can advise on mounting style, metal choice, and finishing to best showcase the stone s dimensions and natural character. For collectors who value provenance, the stone s Russian origin and the fact that it is untreated are integral to its appeal.
