This lovely azurite malachite is another of the beauties cut and polished by Mitchell Dale in Globe, AZ. There's a nice balance between the blue azurite and the green malachite in this stone. To keep the focus on the stone, I've given it a simple border wrap with a double swirl topper and tiny claws curving over one shoulder. Treat someone special to this one-of-a-kind gift or buy it for yourself. The pendant measures 1 7/8" from top of bail and is 1 1/4" wide. Note: Malachite’s color is derived from copper, and it is usually found in opaque green masses. Its crystals are too fine for faceting; it’s generally polished and cut in cabochon form to show off the interesting banding. Malachite is found worldwide, however, Zaire is the major producer. Malachite and Azurite are both simple Copper carbonates. Azurite occurs as a secondary mineral in the oxidized zones of copper deposits, whereas Malachite occurs as an alteration product in the oxidized zones of copper deposits. Enjoy this unique piece of hand-crafted jewelry.
