Malaquoise (Malachite, Opalized Chrysocolla, Tenorite, Cuprite) Designer Cut Cabochon, Designer Cabochons

This astounding and unique cab is from material out of Arizona being dubbed "Malaquoise", which is a copper ore material including a great mix of Malachite, opalized Chrysocolla, Tenorite and Cuprite, along with other trace Copper Ore minerals. This cab shows outstanding all natural color combinations with greens, blues, sienna and black and multiple fantastic pockets of the rare opalized gem Chrysocolla. I've cut this cabochon with a nicely rounded medium high dome, girdled edges and a flat bottom with a slightly beveled bottom edge. This cabochon has fantastic aesthetic 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 polished both front and back with slightly beveled bottom edges for easy setting and to protect the integrity of the stone. NOTE that there is a small pit on the back of this cab.

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.
