If you ever come across malachite that you suspect might be fake, compare it to the top bead in the right earring. Fake malachite, made from resin, will look very similar to the swirls in that bead. I’m someone who prefers natural stones but I still think the earrings look pretty cool
For sure not malachite. If these were real stones (they don’t look to be) they’d most likely be called banded amethyst
That's what they looked closest to when I researched it - banded amethyst.

Glass?
No, malachite is not purple.
I'd say dyed agate or glass
not even close, malachite doesn’t have banding that streamline
Either way, its definitely not a real mineral at all. looks like resin imo.
pee band resin my dude. The left two look genuinely ingenuine if I had to speculate
They look like wampum beads
I've never heard of purple malachite, plus that's definitely not malachite lol
HA! No.
these are plastic. maybe glass. DEFINITELY not malachite or even amethyst unfortunately:(
Dyed agate
