The lid and sides of this lapidary box display vivid patterns of Azurite and Malachite, their blue and green tones blending in a naturally intricate design. Earthy brown and tan veining provides a subtle contrast, emphasizing the depth and movement within the polished surface. The hinged lid opens smoothly atop a dark stone base, creating a striking interplay between color and form. Each panel has been expertly cut and finished to highlight the mineral's rich patterning and luster. This is a sophisticated decorative piece with timeless appeal.
