Cabochonit - Malakiitti Vapaamuotoinen Cabochon (Kongo)

The banding on this piece is unreal, deep green swirls that almost look painted on. I set it in a wire pendant and the natural edge gives it a nice organic look without any polishing needed.

The free-form shape means it sits flat in a bezel without any trimming, which saved me a lot of fuss on my last pendant. Bought it as a wrapping stone and the color shifts from light to deep green depending on the light. Genuinely happy with the piece I got.

The banding on this piece is unreal, deep green swirls that almost look painted on. I set it on a small wooden stand near my window and the natural light really brings out the layers. Feels like holding a slice of the Congo.
