Malachite pendant

This 53 x 29 mm pendant is handcrafted in 925 sterling silver. The chosen stone is a cross-section of a malachite stalactite from Africa, a gem that speaks for itself. The rustic yet delicate nature of this piece is expressed through its natural beauty, held gently by three prongs that allow it to touch the skin and be worn on either side. It is a collector's item.

The importation of this carbonate as a mineral is due to the high presence or abundance of copper within the gem. The name given to this mineral comes from the Greeks; their word referred solely to the color of the rock itself, not the gem. In the Middle Ages, malachite was believed to relieve menstrual pain and facilitate childbirth, which is why it is currently known as the midwife's stone.
