Malachite pendant

This 74 x 45 mm pendant is handcrafted in high-purity 950 silver and features a striking 56 x 44 mm polished malachite cabochon in a teardrop cut. This beautiful specimen is distinguished by the patterns on its surface, alternating shades of green, with its characteristic banding. The pendant is set with prongs and includes a chain loop with textured details.

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.
