Showcasing vivid emerald-to-forest green coloration, orbicular \"bullseye\" eyes, and sweeping concentric banding, this ensemble brings sophisticated mineral texture to a desk, coffee table, or vanity shelf in Hollywood Regency, Mid-Century Modern, or Eclectic interiors.\u003cbr\u003eCultural \u0026amp; Artistic Background\u003cbr\u003eRenowned for its rich copper composition and dramatic swirls, malachite has been sculpted into decorative art objects by master Sub-Saharan lapidary artisans for decades. Each piece in this collection highlights distinct lapidary techniques: hand-hollowed catchall basins, precision-lathed polished spheres, and smooth hand-contoured egg and cabochon forms cut to emphasize the natural, wavy flow of botryoidal mineral layers.\u003cbr\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Surface Character\u003cbr\u003eOffered in excellent vintage condition with strong structural integrity throughout the lot. The polished surfaces display a high, reflective luster that accentuates the stone's vibrant green concentric bands and orbicular eyes. Natural micro-vugs, fine surface pitting, and subtle matrix lines are present, confirming natural, untreated mineral origins. Free from major fractures or post-carving chips.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 1.5 inches (Largest Dish)\u003cbr\u003eWidth\/Diameter: 4.0 inches (Largest Dish)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 4.0 inches (Largest Dish)\u003cbr\u003eSet Count: 8 Matching Malachite Pieces\u003cbr\u003eWeight Profile: Solid\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Afrik Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60049598349598,"sku":"BA-0552","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/5176\/7326\/files\/il_fullxfull.8462826181_ay2f.jpg?v=1790371678","url":"https:\/\/belleafrikarts.com\/products\/vintage-green-malachite-pyramid-lidded-trinket-box-polished-stone-3-pc-set","provider":"Belle Afrik Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
