Malachite bowls

Malachite bowls

Carved Malachite bowls, perfect for trinkets or tumblestones.

These bowls are typically slices and offcuts of Malachite laid into a green resin or cement (referred to as composite), rather than being cut from a solid piece of Malachite - however, we do sometimes sell solid Malachite bowls. If you look closely at the pictures of the composite pieces you might be able to spot the binding material. I've added some photos of the material under UV light now, it shows up very well.

These are generally vintage pieces, from older collections that we bought - as far as I'm aware there aren't too many people currently carving Malachite bowls nowadays, although I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Our current stock consists of:

• #1 - 92.8x78.8x17MM - a small dish made of a composite of Malachite and a filler material. The base isn't perfectly level, so this does rock a little bit. The brass edge has quite a patina on it and is a rather dark copper colour.
• #2 - 95.3x75.2x18MM - a small dish made of a composite of Malachite and a filler material. The base isn't level, so this does rock a lot. The brass edge has been partially polished but is beginning to patina.
