Named after the semi-precious stone, this green-gray metallic creates soothing harmony between sport and sophistication. The finish mimics malachite's natural patterns of light and shadow, giving 997s and 987s an almost geological depth. It's contemplative green—the color equivalent of a perfectly balanced suspension setup.
