The cubic beads of this green malachite necklace lend a ton of visual interest to an otherwise simple strand of natural stone beads. Malachite gets its green color from copper deposits in the stone, giving it a subtle blue undertone due to oxidized copper's well-known color called verdigris. The depth of color can range from deep emerald to light mint, but this necklace is in the middle of that range with darker streaks on some of the beads. With gold-tone spacer beads and clasp, this necklace is perfect on its own or layered with other beads and chains.
