Mark Montano loves malachite, but since it traditionally costs thousands of dollars, it is slightly out of his price range. Mark found a brilliant and frugal way to replicate it using just cardboard, newspaper, and a simple painting technique. He says, “These are perfect for a desk or bookshelf and if done right, people will think you’re rolling in dough!”
Mark was inspired by the 19th Century Russian Malachite and Gilt Bronze Obelisks from 1st Dibs.
