Description

This vintage necklace from the last years of the last century looks like a view of a series of distant planets. The natural pattern of the large spheres that make up the necklace looks like green continents in front of blue oceans. The large beads are so-called malachite-azurite, a naturally occurring mixture of the two copper minerals malachite and azurite. It is formed as a secondary formation in the weathering zone of copper-bearing ore deposits or through the penetration of late magmatic, copper-rich solutions into carbonate-rich rocks. It is mainly mined in the USA, Morocco and Peru. Our necklace presents twenty of these unusual and decorative gemstones. The beads have a diameter of around two centimetres and are individually knotted. A ball clasp made from gold-plated and matt-finished sterling silver holds the necklace securely in place. The necklace came to us from Bavaria.
