Malachite bead strands

Malachite Beads

Nice green Malachite beads, delivered to you on a temporary string. You just need to cut a single knot - they are on a strand for postage and storage so we don't have to count out (and lose...) hundreds of beads!

These strings are absolutely perfect for jewellers and beaders; this vibrant green stone was used throughout antiquity as a status symbol.

These beads contrast with almost anything - pair them with paler beads for a stand out look but they also contrast really well with silver or gold.

Currently, we sell only sell round Malachite, but keep an eye out - chip beads are coming soon and other shapes may follow. These beads are a great grade of the stone, and unfortunately, the price does reflect this.

There are a great number of fake beads floating around from India and China, so I only buy Malachite beads in person, so I can inspect them. On the other hand, this can be quite helpful - the sheer amount of fake beads floating around means you can get a fake cheap to check if the beads will match your design before paying for genuine.

The pictures you see here are representative of the products and are usually not the exact item you will receive. Where various grades are available we do try to photograph each grade - but some photographs are still on their way!
