- Lot Description
Ca 1900
Ball-shaped malachite knob displaying the desired enigmatic and densely banded structure and vibrant light and dark greens, heightened by a beautiful, smooth, and glossy surface.
The knob comes with a yellow metal collar, with multiple rings, on a very tightly stepped malacca shaft, and a metal ferrule.
Distinguished by a classy, clear profile, this cane was built for comfort and embodies good taste. It oozes Russianness and has survived over a century with its initial sparkle intact.
In addition to a tremendous visual appeal, malachite has an addictive feel and is believed to have protection from negative entities or stress-healing properties. It was repeatedly said that malachite vibration attracts people, even though they are often unsure why. These green crystals have excellent action to help you take action and make changes in your life where required. Its name dates back to ancient times, and it is said that it originated from the Greek word for mallow, “malache”, because of its color.
However, one thing is for sure: the fascination with colored stones goes back centuries. They are often seen as mascots and are likely to be individually chosen for personal reasons. Their varieties make them great decorative collectibles.
H. 1 ¾” Diameter, O.L. 34”

Malachite is a striking green copper carbonate mineral, known for its vibrant color and distinctive banded patterns. Highly valued by enthusiasts of hard stones, malachite has been used since ancient times, from Egypt, where it decorated amulets and tombs, to Imperial Russia, where it was featured in grand architectural inlays and Fabergé works. Its rich, swirling layers and silky sheen make each piece uniquely decorative, blending natural beauty with centuries of artistic heritage.
