This vintage necklace features rich, emerald-green malachite beads with characteristic swirling patterns. The beads are small near the neck and increase in size to the front. They are polished to a matte finish and contain naturally occuring fissures and marks. The necklace is tightly strung and has seed bead seperators and a silver-tone barrel clasp.  Malachite is an excellent purging stone for the spirit. The oddity seen in the patterns of this gemstone emanates its power to cleanse the soul. Its greenness, on the other hand, symbolizes regenerative properties for the spirit. When it comes to the spiritual health of a person, malachite means vitality and longevity. Measures: 22'" This necklace is in very good vintage condition. Please see photos for more details.
