Malachite Setting

Description

Malachite setting in stainless steel.
Just wanted to see if I could...
It's done the same way I set glass in stainless settings.
Arc welded and IMMEDIATELY dropped in a bucket of water.
In this case from the back.
The heat never reaches the stone or glass.
I call this Low Tech High Art.
I'll fit the bezel a bit better next time.

Note:
Dipping polished malachite in water is not the best thing for the stone(it dulls the shine),but it was an experiment anyway...

Looks nice. You could always polish up the malachite with a dremel.
