Oversized Oval Malachite Ring

The Fun:

Meet Malachite.
This gemstone darn near screams nature.  The bands of lighter and darker green come together to produce swirls and patterns of unequaled beauty in the gemstone world.  I really enjoy how this gorgeous gem is highlighted by a simple band of yellow gold...it allows the malachite to take center stage and be the focus.
