Majestic Malachite pendants and earrings set in Sterling Silver.
Malachite has a rich history dating back to antiquity, where it was used by ancient Egyptians as far back as 6000 BC for cosmetics and pigments, even for the eyes of Queen Cleopatra. It was prized for its symbolic association with new life, fertility, and the afterlife, which they called the “Field of Malachite”. Later, ancient Greeks and Romans used it for jewelry, amulets, and decorative objects, associating it with protection from evil and the goddess Juno. Historically, it was also one of the first ores used for smelting copper.
