Evergreen Beauty of Malachite

Malachite is my favourite stone, I said it here many times probably. I have my personal malachite jewels (and only one mixed-stone necklace for sail actually, you can see it on the photo, if you are interested). I wear them very often. I had them today, too. Malachite is splendid. It donates me that feeling of warm... The most beautiful malachite was in Russia. The mines are actually worked-out but if you want to visit Russia, you can see the splendour of malachite in Hermitage in Saint Petersburg. There is even a Malachite room there. I found this video where you can see the photos of those objects of incredible beauty...



Russian miners created many fables about the semiprecious stones they had to find and to work for zar and nobles. Some words about them, that fables, you can find in this my article Hostess of the Copper Mountainin my other blog. To stimulate your inspiration, here is an other slide show.
