Tree of Life Necklace, Rustic Wedding, Handmade Jewelry. Malachite Gem Jewelry, Rustic order Wedding, Girlfriend Gift, Gift for Women, TOL Pendant

Handmade Tree of Life necklace with chakra Malachite chips offers Malachite's beauty and physical / emotional healing. Handmade clasp on a raw round leather cord is 28" long.

Popular with the Egyptians, Malachite was also popular with ancient Greeks and Romans for jewelry, ornaments, and in powdered form, for eye shadow. In the Middle Ages, Malachite was believed to protect against the "Evil Eye" and to cure various stomach ailments. Russian czars used Malachite for ornaments and paneling for their castles, and intricate inlay work.

Malachite is a protection stone, absorbing negative energies and pollutants from the atmosphere and from the body. It guards against radiation of all kinds, clears electromagnetic pollution and heals earth energies. It is part of the heart chakra, opening up the heart to offer transformation. It has many physical healing properties as well. Note, always use Malachite in the polished form. Malachite dust is toxic. So don't do like the Romans did, making it into eye shadow. :)

I always wanted to try my hand at a Tree of Life. And I had just enough of these gorgeous Malachite chips (purchased many years ago) for order this project. Malachite has become extremely popular and thus expensive. So I can't be sure of whether I will be purchasing more chips. That makes this piece even more unique and one of a kind (OOAK). So if you love this, buy it.
