History & Lore
Malachite was a prominent stone in ancient times. As a copper ore, Malachite was mined to create copper plates and devices. Egyptian Pharaohs lined their headdresses with the green stone. Ancient Egyptians also ground the stone into a fine powder to create a green pigment. This green pigment was used to create eyeshadow, as well as paint for murals. In ancient Greece, it was believed that the Malachite meaning was connected to Venus, the goddess of love. Ancient Chinese dynasties prized Malachite decorative pieces, and Korean dynasties used Malachite powder as paint.
Besides being used for aesthetic purposes, Malachite was used as a healing stone. According to German lore, it was said that wearing Malachite offered protection from danger and could even warn of disasters to come.

When these materials are cut into slabs and pieces, the sawn surfaces often exhibit banding and eyes that are similar to agate.
Malachite is rarely found as a crystal, but when found, the crystals are usually acicular to tabular in shape. The crystals are bright green in color, translucent, with a vitreous to adamantine luster. Non-crystalline specimens are opaque, usually with a dull to earthy
