To celebrate all things Irish, we are offering three sizes of gem-quality Malachite to reflect the colors and energy of the Emerald Isle. Malachite was first mined in the Egyptian Sinai desert as early as 4000 BC. It is believed to protect against the 'Evil Eye' and symbolizes the deep healing green of nature.This offering is for 8mm round Malachite, a 15-1/2" strand. See the "Items that go with..." for the 4mm and 6mm offerings.Photo #2 here shows all three together!Price is per strand.
