100% natural malachite beads!
Malachite, with its vibrant green hues and mesmerizing patterns, is a copper carbonate mineral prized for its beauty and historical significance. Often found in copper deposits, its rich green color varies from light to dark, displaying intricate bands, swirls, and eye-catching designs. Malachite forms as a secondary mineral through the weathering of copper ores, and its striking patterns often arise from the slow dripping of mineral-rich water within caverns and fractures. This captivating gemstone has been used for centuries as an ornamental stone, pigment, and even in jewelry. Its unique appearance and cultural significance make it a sought-after gemstone for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

I purchased a number of semiprecious beads here hoping they would compare to one's in the pictures, as many times things fall short of the advertised item. I found all of my beads to be as close to the pictures as possible. I had half expected them to be less, but they were pretty darn good for the most part. They also had a wider selection than other places I was shopping for them. I would purchase here again.
