Interesting fact - Malachite Gift from Russia to France

So, how far through Europe did Russian Malachite get?

In 1807, on the 7th of July a treaty, at the Treaty of Tilsit, Alexander I gave Napoleon two malachite tabletops and columns.  These beautiful works of art are still to be seen in the Trianon Palace in France.
