Why you'll love it

We've taken natural malachite and polished it into a shiny, smooth dome called a cabochon, then set it in sterling silver. The stone is opaque, so it's all about colour and pattern: deep forest green, bright emerald and soft mint, swirling together like marbled paper.

It's big enough to be a proper statement and earthy enough to wear with everything. Think linen, denim, white tees and anything boho.

We don't call this collection Magic for no reason.

The swirls are the good bit

Those swirling bands form naturally as water and copper move through the stone while it's growing. That's where malachite gets its famous green. No two stones have the same pattern, so your ring will be a little different from the photos and completely unique to you.

Because this is a genuine natural gemstone, its size, shape and colour will vary, and you may see inclusions. Inclusions are natural lines, small cracks and colour changes that formed inside the stone. They're proof it's the real thing.

What does malachite mean?

Malachite is often called the stone of transformation. It's traditionally associated with:

• Balance and positive change
• Abundance
• Setting intentions
• Protection and absorbing negative energy

Many crystal lovers also believe malachite helps absorb electromagnetic energy from phones, laptops and other devices, which makes it a popular choice for anyone who spends their life online. Think of it as a very pretty shield against too much techno.

Care

Malachite is a soft stone, so treat it like the queen it is.

• Take your ring off before the gym, gardening, cleaning or anything where it could be knocked or scratched.
• Remove it before swimming, showering and washing up. Water, heat and acids (yes, even lemon juice) can dull malachite's shine.
• Keep it away from perfume, hand cream and harsh chemicals.
• Wipe the malachite gently with a soft, dry cloth. Don't soak it, and no ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
• Polish the sterling silver with your Desiderate Sparkle Cloth, taking care around the stone.
• Store it on its own so it doesn't get scratched by other jewellery.
