Malaquoise (Malachite/Cuprite/Chrysocolla/Copper Ore) Designer Cut Cabochon, Designer Cabochons

This unique and striking cab is from material out of Arizona being dubbed "Malaquoise", which is a copper ore material including Malachite, Tenorite, Cuprite and some opalized Chrysocolla, along with other trace minerals. The cab shows outstanding all natural color combinations with vibrant greens, sienna, blue and black. This is my new current favorite to cut, each cab being truly unique and eye-catching! I've cut this cabochon with a medium dome, girdled edges and a flat bottom with a slightly beveled bottom edge. This cabochon has incredible eye-appeal and will definitely make an absolutely stunning high-end one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry!

I cut this cab by hand and it's been highly polish both front and back with slightly beveled bottom edges for easy setting and to protect the integrity of the stone.

Note that all my photos were taken using full spectrum lighting, which does fairly well in replicating natural sunlight. However, almost all cut stones will look best and brightest in direct sunlight.
