The listing, MALACHITE IN CHRYSOCOLLA GEMSTONE 100% SOLID .925 STERLING SILVER 1 3/8" PENDANT has ended.
Malachite is a carbonate mineral, copper (II) carbonate hydroxide. Except for the vibrant green color, the properties of Malachite are very similar to those of Azurite and the two minerals are frequently found together, although Malachite is more common than Azurite. The stone's name derives (via Latin and French) from Greek word "molochitis", meaning "mallow-green stone", and from the French word "molochē", meaning "mallow". Its banded light and dark green designs are one-of-a-kind, and give it a unique ornamental quality unlike that of any other stone.
