From bull’s-eyes to straight and curved bands, malachite is a distinctive and easily recognizable gemstone with a character entirely its own. Ranging from an opaque bluish green to rich green, each stone features one-of-a-kind curved and circular banding that makes it an ideal centerpiece for statement jewelry. Its vivid color is caused by copper content, a mineral association that dates back to the Stone Age. These round cabochons are offered in a range of sizes to suit a variety of settings and design applications.
Due to malachite’s relative softness, handle each stone with extra care. Clean with warm, soapy water only. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaners.

Malachite is a relatively soft stone. Handle with extra care to avoid scratching or chipping. Because each stone is a natural specimen, color intensity, banding patterns, and surface character will vary. Photos are representative; actual stones will differ.
