Malachite

Malachite, a copper carbonate mineral, exhibits characteristic green bands, as illustrated on these bracelets. Often used in jewelry, malachite has been mined since ancient times, particularly in Egypt where it was used to adorn decorative objects and in various rituals. Its formation results from the alteration of copper by water, and it is mainly extracted in the Congo Basin, Russia, and Australia. These bracelets showcase the variety of forms malachite can take, from polished round beads to irregularly shaped pieces
