The photo doesn't do this stone justice--it is lovely. Overall, the ring is daintier than I expected, but easy to wear and doesn't snag on clothes (a problem with some "star-shaped" jewelry!).
I love this ring!
I was once a malachite lover and then switched to jade. The ring is gorgeous, large but not too large and the jade is a beautiful green that works with all greens.
I strongly recommend this beauty!
