Silver 925, also known as Sterling Silver, contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Pure silver is not used in jewelry making, as it is too soft. Silver has a seductive look with its warm color-temperature and has been used in jewelry making since ancient times. The disadvantage of silver is: It can react to sulfur in the air (depending on air quality and skin type). This is commonly known as ´tarnishing´ or ´oxidation´. The best way to remove these dark spots is the following: polishing cloth boil water in a pan and add some salt and a piece of uncoated aluminium foil. Then put your piece of jewel into the pan and "pickle" it wait for a while. Effective are also polish products especially made for silver-cleaning.

The name of the carbonate mineral Malachite derives presumably from the Greek word for Malva. This inspired the name-giving because of the minerals layers in several green tones.Malachite helps to treat asthma and eye infections, but also helps to detoxicate and clean the body in the case of poisoning. It facilitates, like other charmstones, birth-giving and helps to relieve period pains. Malachite is ideal for Capricorn people and helps Taurus people to counterbalance negative vibes.
