Malachite Briolette Trapeze Earrings P00176-P00374 it is carefully sanded andCrafted with recycled 18k yellow gold with a matte satin finish, these earrings feature malachite with a unique striation pattern. Malachite's patterning is caused by the formation of the mineral, which is a globular external form resembling a cluster of grapes. Creating a cross section of these rounded formations results in the banding and dappling of green we see. The pattern of every gem is different.
