Malachite is a distinctive green copper carbonate mineral, recognised for its extraordinary natural bands and patterns that range from pale green to deep forest tones. Used decoratively for thousands of years, every piece of malachite carries its own markings, making each stone naturally individual. A meeting of history, colour and natural stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce exchanged as everyday currency, it is now given another life as a wearable piece of East African history. Its age and natural wear are part of its character rather than imperfections traces of the hands, places and years through which it has travelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of SuhaniMara’s Coined in Time Collection, both bracelets reflects our belief that objects from the past need not be forgotten. Reimagined through contemporary jewellery, they can be worn, treasured and eventually passed from one generation to the next preserving a small piece of history along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SuhaniMara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42956498763847,"sku":"CIT025","price":0.0,"currency_code":"KES","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0046\/5479\/files\/CIT025_Old_British_East_Africa_Coin_Bracelets_with_Malachite_and_Green_Quartz_01.jpg?v=1783869924","url":"https:\/\/suhanimara.com\/products\/old-british-east-africa-coin-bracelets-with-malachite-and-green-quartz","provider":"Suhani Mara","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
