High Pattern Malachite 4x13mm Tube Beads, 15.5 inches/34 Beads
Malachite comes from copper deposits, forming deep underground when copper ore, water, and carbon dioxide combine, often found in the oxidized zones of mines alongside azurite. Major sources include the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which supplies most modern gemstone-quality material, historically Russia (Ural Mountains), Zambia, Namibia, Australia, and parts of the USA (Arizona)
