Wholesale Malachite: Polished Blocks, Free Forms and Collector Pieces
The banded green of malachite
Deep green, banded with light and dark stripes forming concentric circles, malachite is one of the most recognisable and sought-after polished stones. It comes mainly from Congo. Cut into free forms, pebbles, spheres, and large tumbled stones, it is both a collector's piece and a decorative object. Arabesk offers a selection of pieces, each individually photographed.
Choosing your pieces
A malachite is judged by the pattern of its bands (the concentric "eyes" are the most prized), its polish, and the absence of porosity. It is soft and sensitive to water and acids: dry polishing only, no wet cleaning — worth reminding your customers. Pieces of 4 to 8 cm are the best sellers; large free forms are showcase pieces.
What works in store
Display malachite in a showcase, under glass, with its price shown: it is a valuable stone that sells to collectors. It pairs well with labradorite and rose quartz from the polished stone blocks section; in jewellery, the silver free-form pendants in malachite extend the sale.
