Malachite cuprite cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of AWESOME malachite in agate with cuprite, from Arizona. This vibrant, gemmy material is something seldom seen, but it's mighty hard to beat when it comes to eye catching. The colors don't translate very well, digitally, so these photos don't do them much justice. In hand, you'll see shades of bright greens to greenish blues, with scattered patches of dark blood red cuprite. Some of the background agate/quartz mixture is stained the color of the malachite, as well as the cuprite, resulting in streaks of both within it. Highly silicated material like this is quite durable; it's certainly hard enough, naturally, to accept a terrific polish, and will wear well in any type of jewelry you can dream up. The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, and a boldly crisp designer shape, polished both front and back.
Size: 58x27mm
Weight: approximately 60 carats
