Is it real malachite and maker help?

Pretty double strand necklace. It says "SILVER" on one side of the clasp and has the mark on the other side. It all looks golden to me.

Is it real malachite? The drill holes look like stone, not plastic. It is strung on thread.  All of the beads (except the golden ones, of course) look the same size until it gets to the clasp, where they get smaller.

Is the mark on the clasp the maker? Or is it all cheap China stuff?? Thanks for ANY info!!

Don't know the maker's mark but I vote yes to real malachite.

Thank you. I cross posted to the Jewelry & Gemstone Group and they agreed.

Easiest way is to test for glass; that's where my money's at.
