And if you, in contrast to Stepan from the Bazhov fairy tale, the hostess of the copper mountain did not give up such a casket, do not rush to get upset. Here is such a "malachite" casket in the form of an apple can be made with your own hands and from the simplest materials. In the future, using this technique, other stones can be simulated, for example, marble.
