Help with Malachite choices!

[Croissant]

As some of you may know, I’ve been on a mission to find a great 20 motif. First I opted for carnelian but then decided malachite would be more interesting. Then I received a beautiful malachite but it wasn’t my style...too pastel of a green. Now my SA has presented me with a few darker options. Please help!

For reference, here is what I’m exchanging

Of the two pics you posted (I’m assuming those are the two you are deciding between), I would definitely pick #2. Prettier green. The first one is too dark.

Number 1 is too dark, number 2 - more blue than green.
Can you wait another necklace?

First 2 pics look beautiful. Love the dark foresty green.

the 2 in the first post are being overnighted and i'll see them in person to decide later this week! sometimes photos don't do a color justice. maybe the dark foresty green pops in person? maybe the second one will. will have to try on! scared to be near the lotus ring again.

Based solely on the pics, the second picture looks pretty perfect!

To my taste, I like it dark with lots of striations. Your second choice seems to be closest to this.

It is a great piece and I hope that you can find one you love..don't settle!!!

Gorgeous!

Definitely Option #2 As mentioned above, it's a prettier shade of green and the striations show up better. @hopiko's 20 is just so eye wateringly perfect

This green is perfect

I think the lighting is a little different in the two pictures. I think both of them have promise and likely will be an improvement over the lighter motifs. It's wonderful they are getting a couple more for you to see!
