Malachite is an intense green
copper-based mineral that can be found in various forms (ranging between
botryoidal, silky and stalactitical) . It typically grows as atight
cluster of fanning fibrous needles that make up a seemingly solid mass. As
layers continue to stack during formation, banded patterns can sometimes begin
to take shape, explaining the rings in all shades of green seen on most
polished malachite specimens.
Malachite results from the weathering of other copper ores, and is very often
found associated with other copper-based minerals such as azurite and chrysocolla. It can be found in copper deposits around the world, but the
Democratic Republic of the Congo is the primary source for polished malachite
and mineral specimens.
Malachite has been prized since ancient times, first as a utilitarian copper
ore, then as an ornamental stone.
