Lapis' gem on Malachite didn't have any features that were added or removed, outside of color. It's just that the artists didn't add shading to it when animating Malachite. Shading is just a fundamental phenomenon that occurs with light. And unless Lapis' gemstone on Malachite is perpetually emitting light, there's no reason why it cannot have shading on it.
