Description
This teardrop malachite ring features a genuine 9x7mm polished malachite teardrop in vivid emerald green, its surface marked with the distinctive concentric banding that makes every malachite stone completely unique — no two are ever the same. Copper grows directly around it in your choice of bright or antique finish. A bold, grounding presence for daily wear. A piece that draws the eye and holds it.
Malachite is associated with transformation, protection, and heart-centered growth. A heart chakra stone. Wear it when you need to feel open and ready for change.
Why Teardrop Malachite
Malachite is a naturally occurring copper carbonate hydroxide mineral — notably, it forms directly from the weathering of copper ore deposits, which means the green in malachite and the copper in the band share the same elemental origin. Its vivid green color and distinctive concentric banding are caused by variations in copper concentration during formation. Found primarily in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, and Russia. Long associated with the heart chakra (Anahata) and with transformation and protection. The 9x7mm teardrop shape gives this ring a substantial, elegant presence on the finger. No mystical claims. Just a genuinely beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Malachite Ring Is Made
Each teardrop malachite ring is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every stone for its banding pattern and color depth, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process, preserving the teardrop silhouette exactly. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade ring from this studio is one of a kind.

Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Malachite is sensitive to acids and chemicals — avoid perfumes and cleaning products directly on the stone. Let the copper patina deepen naturally with wear, or polish gently with a soft cloth to brighten.
