Known by many names like riso, arroz, kanin, irayisi, rice is a staple food for over 50% of the world, no matter the cultural origin. This little grain can be found everywhere feeding world hunger. From Mexico's sweet milk drink, horchata, to New Orleans' Cajun jambalaya, rice transcends cultures.

It has even made its way into our wedding ceremonies representing good wishes and a prosperous life for newlywed couples. The rice toss originated as a way for guests to wish the bride and groom a showering of abundance and good fortune.

Malachite has been used as a gemstone and sculptural material for thousands of years and is still popular today. Today it is most often cut into cabochons or beads for jewelry use.

Malachite has a green color that does not fade over time or when exposed to light. Those properties, along with its ability to be easily ground to a powder, made malachite a preferred pigment and coloring agent for thousands of years.
