FIL-MAL-01 Origin: Congo Grade: A Origin Congo Grade: A = good Malachite strand from Congo 6mm beads - GRADE A Approximately 40cm. 5-6mm: about 63 beads per strand 7-8mm: about 48 beads per strand Hole size: 0.8/1mm The name malachite comes from the ancient Greek "malaikhé" which translates to "mallow." This is not the name of the color mauve, but of the plant named "mallow," (a plant with beautiful relatively soft green leaves). Another hypothesis suggests that the origin of the name malachite comes from the Greek "Malachos" which means "soft" in reference to the softness of the stone. This interpretation is often the one that is retained.
