35.27 Ct. Malachite from Russia

I am pleased to present an exceptionally rare and exquisite Russian malachite, offered exclusively through The Natural Gemstone Company, a masterpiece that will appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who prize individuality and provenance. This remarkable specimen weighs 35.27 carats, and is fashioned in an elegant oval shape with precise dimensions of 34.41 x 24.93 x 2.74 mm. The tablet cut showcases the stone in a broad, flat profile that amplifies the natural, concentric banding that has made Russian malachite so coveted for centuries. Graded eye clean at normal viewing distance, this opaque gem displays a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that lends a satiny glow to the surface, with no enhancements of any kind. Origin is documented as Russia, a region celebrated for producing malachite with especially rich and well defined banding, and this piece arrives to you in untouched, natural condition, a rare find in a market often flooded with treated material.

Viewed under natural or gallery lighting, the stone reveals depth and movement, as the vibrant greens oscillate from deep bottle green to brighter, almost emerald highlights where the polish catches the light. The tablet cut and the generous oval dimensions create a commanding visual field that allows the malachite bands to read like a landscape, each arc and eye a fingerprint of geological time. Because malachite is celebrated for its distinctive banding rather than for transparency, the eye clean clarity and uniform polish are the critical measures of quality, and this specimen excels on both counts. The excellent polish produces a soft, reflective sheen rather than a mirror glare, preserving the tactile, organic allure that collectors prize, while the vivid color intensity gives the stone presence, making it ideal for a signature pendant, a bespoke ring with a protective bezel, a one of a kind brooch, or a curated collector cabinet where it can be admired as an object d art.

Ownership of a natural Russian malachite of this caliber confers entry into a small circle of discerning collectors, because truly fine examples are seldom available and those that remain on the market are typically acquired by institutions and private cabinets. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this stone as a limited opportunity, a single, unenhanced specimen that will lend distinction to any bespoke commission. For jewelry applications it is important to respect malachite s physical characteristics, and we recommend protective settings that reduce exposure to impact and abrasive contact. A bezel setting or a recessed mount with a metal rim will protect the tablet profile and maintain the pristine polish. Care is simple and effective, avoid prolonged exposure to acids, household chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaning, and preserve the surface by wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. These precautions ensure the stone retains its vivid intensity and satiny finish for generations, allowing it to function as both wearable art and an heirloom of rare geological beauty.

If you would like to claim this singular piece, The Natural Gemstone Company offers personalized service to guide you through the selection of setting styles, metal choices, and design concepts that honor the stone s origin and aesthetic. We can provide detailed provenance documentation, high resolution imagery, and private consultation to coordinate bespoke settings crafted to protect and highlight the tablet cut and the dynamic banding. Given the unique nature of this malachite, we recommend prompt inquiry, as it is presented as a solitary example and will not be restocked. Owning this 35.27 carat Russian malachite means possessing more than a gem, it means joining an exclusive group of collectors who appreciate the rare convergence of natural beauty, historical origin, and artisanal presentation, a distinction we are proud to offer through The Natural Gemstone Company.
