These sterling silver earrings feature malachite gemstone drops. Malachite is green copper carbonate hydroxide mined in the Sinai and eastern deserts of ancient Egypt as early as five thousand years ago for uses like eye paint, pigment for wall paintings, and glass glazes. Dwindling supply and increasing demand has increased the price of gem-quality malachite, though it remains relatively affordable for a deep green gemstone. The malachite drops in these 1.5" earrings are approximately 1" long and wrapped in sterling silver. They hang with graceful tapered silver circles from long silver earwires.

Cost: $93.00 USD
