Ocean's Serenade, Handmade Azurite and Malachite
Earrings with Hearts on Sterling Silver Hoops
Both Azurite and Malachite are carbonates of copper and are found wherever there are copper deposits. The name azurite comes from its beautiful blue color (azul means blue in Arabic). The ancient Egyptians used it as a make-up for the eyes. Malachite was given this name due to its resemblance to the leaves of the Mallow plant. In Israel, malachite is extensively mined at Timna valley, often called King Solomon's Mines, although research has revealed an interruption in mining activity at the site during the 10th century BC, the time of the biblical Solomon. Archeological evidence indicates that the mineral has been mined and smelted at the site for over 3,000 years.
