About the Item

Impressive and large Russian malachite egg, carved from the solid. A timeless yet historic decorative object, which is a great addition to any sophisticated interior decoration. This unique and unusual object functions as a great eyecatcher; a closer look reveals the fine marbling which is typical for the rare material malachite. A very similar egg was sold at auction, Christie's London 2007 for circa USD 28,000.
