None at all. Yes, you need to wipe the motifs after wearing if you dont want to see fingerprints (which I don’t do but we all probably should regardless of the stone) but it’s no worse than with, say, carnelian.

I was considering the bracelet, so is it just regular fingerprints that can be wiped away, or are people having issues with fingerprints they can’t wipe away? It seems that it would be totally normal, on any smooth surface, to have fingerprints show, which you can wipe away? Thanks in advance for your insight beautiful :)

aw, thanks!
Nah, it’s just regular fingerprints and maybe makeup (as we say in NY - “schmutz”). I haven’t had an issue yet! And I wear the agate frequently.
 
I was contemplating on getting malachite 3 motif earrings. Here is VCA's care instruction of malachite:"Over time, this stone evolves naturally to develop a matte surface, which emphasizes its unique character." So it's expected that the surface will become dull? I don't mind it aging beautifully, but it has to do it beautifully!

thanks! do you find that the color is a commitment or does it pretty seamlessly blend in to your wardrobe. i confess the malachite is really stunning but on the other hand is it going to be "oh hey thats the green necklace" with everything i wear?
