Green With Envy!

We’re excited to announce the launch of our brand new Magical Malachite FriendshipCollar!

Here at FriendshipCollar, we love our natural world and are often inspired by it. This gorgeous new design was inspired by the mineral malachite, which has a striking green color and often features unique swirl patterns in rich green and blue hues. Malachite has been used in clothing, jewelry, and makeup for thousands of years. In fact, the ancient Egyptians used it as early as 3000 BCE. We have listed some super fun facts about Malachite below.
