AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
When art and nature merge into a single creation: the Master Artisan shaped the malachite into an elegant carving, bringing to life an elephant with a charming appearance. The malachite, with its intense greens and dark shades, seems to capture the very essence of the African jungle.
The elephant carved from stone with grace and power, capturing every detail of the majesty of this iconic animal. The elegant curves, the meticulous attention to detail, create an extraordinary realistic effect.
Malachite is also associated with symbolic meanings, including protection, spiritual growth, and prosperity. Carrying a malachite object is believed to bring positive energy and protection.

Wisdom and intelligence: elephants are also considered very intelligent and wise animals. Their exceptional memory and problem-solving abilities have made them a symbol of wisdom and knowledge.
