Malachite Earrings
A crystal so high in copper content that in hard times copper miners would actually burn it down for the raw copper inside to sell as material for copper plumbing. The gorgeous green color is a result of copper patina occurring inside the crystal. Usually forming in caves, it’s possible to find Malachite stalactites alongside deposits of copper, azurite and chrysocolla.
Malachite is a stone of the heart that asks us to search inside ourselves and be the master of our own emotional healing and growth. A deeply grounding mineral, ancient civilizations looked to malachite as a symbol of power, protection and renewal. It was even considered to ward off the evil eye.
This piece is handwoven in clear coat enameled genuine copper. The clear coat of enamel protects the copper from patina and damage. Natural patina over time may occur, any copper safe polish will restore its beautiful shine. Do not expose to water over long periods of time; this will speed up the patina process.
Listing includes earrings with rubber backings, measuring 2”l x 0.75”w x 0.25”h
