How to wear it Slide the adjustable band to fit your finger and let the prong-set stone sit like a small, bold accent. Because malachite is a relatively soft, copper-bearing stone, it's best worn as an occasional statement piece rather than daily hand-washing wear - take it off before washing dishes, showering, or exercising to protect the setting and the stone. Care & cleansing Malachite is a copper mineral and can be toxic if ingested or if its dust is inhaled, so it should always be kept dry. Never soak the ring, make elixirs or gem water with the stone, or expose it to salt. Clean it gently with a dry or barely-damp soft cloth only, and store it away from harder jewelry that could scratch the stone. Frequently asked questions What is this malachite ring used for?
