Malachite Earrings

I created these earrings with Malachite crystals ethically sourced from Congo on gold stainless steel hoop monstera leaf pendants, brass wire wrap, and with brass wire! 📖Crystal properties📖: The name is derived from the Greek word ‘malakos’, meaning soft. Malachite is one of only four minerals that comes in two colors. It also occurs as crystals, compact masses, and botryoidal (grape-shaped) clusters. The stone has a Mohs hardness of 3.5 – 4 and a specific gravity of 3.3 – 4.1, which makes it easily pitted by the elements. Malachite is found in copper mines around the world, usually, as a replacement of another mineral (most notably Limonite) and is often associated with Azurite. Malachite can be mined in the USA, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Romania, Russia, Zaire, and the Congo. *Please note that everyone feels crystals differently. There is no right or wrong way in wearing crystal jewelry. Go with the flow and see what best calls out to you!  .🚛When you purchase from my shop you
