This adorable little box packs a punch. It consists of magnificent Azurite and Malachite from Russia. This material is prized for its myriad of colors and patterns. These minerals work in harmony together despite the fact that it resembles chaos. All sides of the box feature this lovely material, which has been book-matched. The inside sits in contrast with black stone and a gold-plated piano hinge. The base is made of the same black stone topped with rubber feet. This keepsake box is the perfect size for the storage of top jewelry pieces.
