MALACHITE

Malachite stone derives its name from the Greek word “mallow”, meaning a green herb. Malachite is named so, due to its high degree of resemblance to the ‘Mallow plant’ leaves. Its banded light and dark green designs are one-of-a-kind, and gives malachite stone a unique ornamental quality. Malachite stone has historical importance attached to it. Malachite was used for preparing green paints in the early civilizations. In jewelry form it was worn by ancient Egyptians around 4000 BC back thinking that it could protect the wearer from black magic and sorcery.
