Malachite Chrysocolla Gemstone Jewelry Necklace Pendant A Quality - 925 Sterling Silver #7446 - seelensteinchen

Malachite-Chrysocolla Pendant – with 925 Silver Bail (55 x 33 mm)

This extraordinary malachite-chrysocolla pendant combines two fascinating copper minerals in a harmonious natural display. The intense green tones of malachite meet the turquoise to blue-green nuances of chrysocolla – an impressive color ensemble reminiscent of tropical lagoons and lush landscapes. Due to the natural intergrowth of both minerals, each piece has a unique pattern – each piece of jewelry is one-of-a-kind.

Measuring approximately 55 x 33 mm, the pendant appears elegant and striking at the same time. The sturdy 925 silver bail (sterling silver) complements the noble appearance and allows it to be worn on chains or leather cords.
