Place it on a coffee table, desk, or console table for a pop of color through natural stone. Copper is the whole story. It weathered out of the ore and came back twice: blue where it reformed as chrysocolla, green where it banded into malachite. The two meet across the face with no blending between them. Blue field, green eye, a hard line where one stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut and polished into a freeform, so the shape follows the stone instead of a template.

Malachite is assigned to the heart, and carried for protection. We report the tradition; we don't claim it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe documented history is better anyway. Egyptians ground malachite into the green eye paint worn through the Old Kingdom, and it stayed in use as a painter's pigment across Europe until synthetic greens replaced it in the nineteenth century. The color on this stone is the same color that sat on those palettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eORIGIN\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChrysocolla forms in the oxidized zone of a copper deposit, where the metal breaks down in water and returns as something blue. Malachite forms in the same ground by the same process and returns green. This piece is both, side by side, with no shortcut that trades honesty for shine. The strata occurs once.
