Malachite Studs

Malachite 🦚 Most commonly known for its light and dark green banding, malachite is a soft, silky, earthy mineral. Its green color comes from its copper compound and is widely found in parts of the Congo, Peru, Russia and even in Arizona. In ancient Egypt, Greece and Roman times it was used as a powder for eyeshadow and coloring pigments. These specific stones came from my friend Donny with The Rock Turtle. The hand made bezels are .999 fine silver, backplates and components are .925 sterling silver.
