Malachite Earring Set

Malachite

Malachite is a beautiful green copper ore  with irregular black banding and consists of copper oxide, carbon dioxide and water.  It is formed in layers that vary in color from apple green to dark gray-green.  The tombs of Egypt have revealed cosmetic jars of pulverized malachite which was used to paint the eyelids a lovely soft green.  King Solomon extracted this stone from his copper mines and became wealthy from it.  People made bracelets of malachite even in ancient times, in fact, some scholars believe malachite was one of the sacred jewels in the Hebrew High Priest's breastplate.

The earring wires and wrap on the pendant are of 14 carat gold-fill wire.

This beautiful three piece set is only $52.95 and shipping is free.
