5.14 Ct. Cabochon Malachite from Russia

This is a singular opportunity to own a truly exceptional specimen from the storied deposits of Russia, a beautiful opaque bluish green malachite, weighing 5.14 carat, presented in a classic oval shape with a cabochon cut that magnifies its natural banding and depth of color. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to offer this one of a kind gem, a piece that evokes an old world elegance while speaking directly to the modern collector who seeks rarity and refinement. The stone displays vivid color intensity, a sumptuous bluish green that shifts subtly with the light, and an excellent polish that creates a mirror like surface on the dome while allowing the fine, parallel banding to remain the obvious visual attraction. For connoisseurs, malachite of this quality and provenance is not a common find, and this gem is offered without enhancement, preserving the unaltered beauty and geological history that only natural stones can provide.

Measured precisely at 12.03 by 10.04 by 4.24 millimeters, this malachite is ideal for a bespoke ring or a statement pendant where its proportions will read as both balanced and generous, yet intimate enough to be worn and appreciated daily. The clarity is graded very slightly included when examined at eye level, a notation that speaks to the stone being essentially clean to the unaided eye, while maintaining the natural textures and minute inclusions that confirm its authenticity. The cabochon shaping not only accentuates the banded character that collectors treasure, it also ensures a tactile sensibility in the finished piece that faceted stones rarely achieve. The interplay between the vividly hued layers and the silky polish gives the gem an almost painterly striation effect, each band telling a chapter of its formation. Because no enhancements have been applied, the color, banding, and surface quality you see are the direct result of nature and skilled lapidary work, a combination that places this malachite in a special category for bespoke designers and private clients alike.

Owning this malachite is an invitation to join an elite group of collectors who value provenance, natural integrity, and individuality, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind that promise with careful documentation of origin and handling. This single example is available now and will be presented with full details of its measurements, weight, cut and clarity as part of our consignment standards, ensuring you acquire not just a gem, but a verified natural treasure ready for a custom creation. We recommend setting designs that celebrate the stone as the centerpiece, allowing the rich bluish green bands to flow uninterrupted, and we can introduce you to experienced designers who specialize in bespoke mounting that complements rather than competes with the stone. For care, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, keep the stone away from sudden temperature changes, and gently cleanse with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to preserve the polish and color over generations. If you wish to reserve this unique malachite or discuss commission options, our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is available to provide personalized service and expert guidance to ensure this rare cabochon finds its rightful place in a private collection or a one of a kind jewelry commission.
