My identification of Malachite & Azurite is hopefully correct, but I could be wrong. It's a very interesting cab! I need to re-shoot this cab, though! This cabochon is actually greener than it appears in the photo. The surface is rough, since parts of the cab are softer than others; the bold vein working its way across the center of the cab is noticeably harder and, this, is a bit raised, as are several other smaller areas on the cabochon. Dimensions: 31mm x 24mm x 6mm. Weight: 30.00 carats.
