Malachite - Thin Band

There is something sophisticated about the hypnotizing ripples of dark and light green that cover Malachite’s surface.

And you would be among good company if you, too, found your gaze drawn to it.

Jewelry and carvings made from the stone can be found among objects owned by ancient
Egyptians and date as far back as 4000 BC.

Ground Malachite was even used as a cosmetic, with pots of the powder found buried alongside Cleopatra.

Later, during the Renaissance, artists would use the same pigments to make oil paints.
During this time, Europeans also believed this stone could ward off evil.

The most well-known use in modern history was in the palaces of the Russian Romanov dynasty.

A single, massive, gem was unearthed and carved into decorative columns and pillars used in both their homes and the famed St. Isaac Cathedral.

Deposits of the stone are found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as Australia, France, and the United States.

The graceful patterns and captivating hues of our Malachite bracelet would be perfect for any jewelry collection.
