This is an eye-catching pendant with a green malachite stone from Greek Serifos island, set on sterling silver. The metal has been expertly hand-textured to create a sophisticated, organic contrast. The stone has amazing green tone colours and makes this artisan necklace a unique piece of jewellery. Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral well known for its beautiful rich green colour. It is a protection stone, absorbing negative energies and pollutants from the atmosphere and the body. This one-of-a-kind pendant is combined with an elegant sterling silver chain.
