Azurite Malachite Sterling Silver Pendant

Azurite Malachite
Sourced from the Morenci mine in Arizona, USA. Azurite with deep, rich blues and Malachite with leafy, earthy greens - Azurite Malachite is of course a combination of the two distinctive gemstones. With its wonderful natural dual colour banding and patterns, the stone is said to represent the two elements of water and earth. Healers say that this gemstone is an excellent all-round healing stone! As with most naturally blue and green copper based crystal gemstones, this gemstone does not like the heat and should not be stored in sunlight, as it will be prone to fading.

Sterling Silver (925%)
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
