This pendant is made of African Malachite and hand-wrapped in 14 gauge sterling silver wire.
Malachite has green swirls and marbled patterns and stands for sensuality, beauty, and transformation. Its eye-like rings resemble peacock feathers and have long been admired. Malachite was used in jewelry, art, and paintings, sourcing it from King Solomon’s copper mines. It was also thought to ward off evil in children, and small pieces were hung near cribs to aid in sleep. Malachite is "the stone of transformation" - it covers emotional pain, comforts during change, and promotes personal growth. The stone brings harmony and insight, and is appropriate for new beginnings, creating desires and avoiding danger or illness. Looking at malachite patterns is said to refresh and uplift the spirit.
