Malachite, one of the rarest minerals on Earth. Mined for more than 5,000 years to extract copper and for ornamental uses, it is one of the most sought after semiprecious stones, and one of the hardest to work with.

Produced by water precipitation, the presence of copper gives malachite its characteristic deep green color.

We cut the Malachite Riser Tray out of a single piece of malachite with druzy inclusions, from the Congo. This is not tiling, it is not painted, nor it is a printed layer on top of a less expensive material, all reproductions easily produced by other brands. We tend to shy away from reproductions, preferring to work with the real thing.

The Malachite Riser Tray is an exceptional piece that is hefty and solid, cut out and hand-polished with extreme care of a single malachite chunk pre-selected for having a variety of patterns, and an elegant play in high and low color bands.

A unique piece in its kind, the Malachite Riser Tray is a statement piece for that special corner of your home. The Malachite Riser Tray is also offered in other stone varieties, and you can check them out here.
