Malachite Bracelet, 10mm — Protection & Boundaries

Ten millimetre rounds of natural malachite, hand-strung. The banding is the thing: concentric rings and ripples of deep green against lighter green, sharp-edged rather than blurred, different on every bead.
Malachite is traditionally called the stone of transformation, and it has a long association with grounding, with protection, and with the heart. A lot of people reach for it when something in their life is changing and they want something steady on their wrist while it does.

What you will see in the beads
Natural malachite usually shows:
- Sharp, high-contrast banding patterns
- Concentric “eyes,” waves, and ripple formations
- Rich variation of deep and light green tones
- Occasional tiny natural pits or mineral textures
These are the marks of malachite that has been cut and polished rather than pressed or reconstituted, and they are why no two bracelets match.

FAQ
Q: Is this bracelet made from real malachite?
Yes. Natural malachite, reported by our supplier as coming from the Democratic Republic of Congo, cut and polished rather than pressed from powder.
Q: What wrist size does this bracelet fit?
Standard 6.5-inch stretch fit, suitable for most wrists. Custom sizing available upon request.
Q: Are the patterns natural or dyed?
The banding is how the stone grew. We do not dye it. We do not lab-test our stones, so this is what our supplier reports and what the beads themselves show.
Q: Do you ship from the USA?
Yes. Every Shazu bracelet ships from San Francisco, California.
Q: What should I look for in good malachite?
Bands with clear edges rather than a muddy blur, a deep green that shifts light and dark across one bead, and a polish that feels smooth under the thumb. Small natural pits are normal.
