At The Natural Gemstone Company we present a singular example of nature refined into a jewel, one beautiful opaque bluish green malachite fashioned into an elegant oval cabochon. This stone weighs 4.93 carats, and measures 12.05 x 10.04 x 4.22 mm, a size that balances presence with refinement and invites a setting that celebrates its surface and banding. Cut as a smooth cabochon to accentuate its layered character, this malachite is of Russian origin and has undergone no enhancement, allowing its innate beauty to speak for itself. The combination of weight, precise oval proportions, and a highly polished dome make this gem an ideal centerpiece for a ring, a statement pendant, or a bespoke cufflink design, an heirloom ready to be personalized for the discerning collector.
Viewed at eye level this malachite carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, a testament to its natural formation and authenticity, and its vivid color intensity is immediately arresting. The stone presents a spectrum of bluish green tones that resolve into rhythmic, parallel bands, each stripe a story of mineral growth that produces depth and movement when caught by light. Because malachite is fundamentally opaque, the artistry of the cut and the quality of the polish determine its visual impact, and here the polish is excellent, yielding a silk like sheen that enhances the contrast between the lighter and darker striations. The tactile smoothness of the cabochon invites touch, while the graceful oval silhouette offers versatility in design, allowing fine metals and complementary accent stones to frame the malachite without overwhelming its natural drama.
Owning this malachite from The Natural Gemstone Company is an expression of cultivated taste, a way to wear an object that is both timeless and unmistakably personal. For the collector who seeks rarity and provenance, this untreated Russian malachite is a refined choice, its vivid hues and natural banding a discreet yet unmistakable emblem of luxury. We welcome inquiries about bespoke mounting options, secure certification, and private viewing arrangements, and we stand ready to assist in creating a setting that elevates this cabochon into a cherished signature piece. Embrace the opportunity to possess a gem that speaks of geology and elegance, a possession that marks an achievement in style and discernment.
