Ornate sterling silver emphasizes three distinct stones which combine to make a striking pendant. Green tourmaline with tiny slivers of black embedded naturally in this stone, begins a cascade of these three. Malachite, bright green showing the telltale bands of dark and light green, takes up the middle and then is followed by a teardrop shape of shiny black onyx. The “chain” of beads that complete this necklace is made up primarily of malachite in various shapes and sizes, set off by a variety of small onyx beads, and seed beads and finished by round black freshwater pearls.
Malachite, like so many stones, can be traced all the way back to Egypt as early as 3000 BC. Malachite was also used in the Greek and Roman empires, partly for jewelry but also ground up and used for eye shadow. In the Middle Ages malachite supposedly protected people from the evil eye and the Russian czars paneled their castles with malachite and used it for decorative inlay work. Malachite is believed to ward off danger, fight illness, and lead to creativity and confidence. The main source of malachite today is in Zaire, but it is also found in Australia, Chile, South Africa, and the U.S.A.
