Malachite - Welcome to Connected by Crystals
Malachite, a vibrant green Copper Carbonate Hydroxide mineral and holds a rich history as one of the earliest ores used in Copper production. Sourced from the Congo, where mining for its Copper content is extensive, obtaining specimen-grade material proves challenging. Malachite's varied habits range from botryoidal to silky and stalactite-like forms, each showcasing its unique allure. The density of the material affects the weight-to-size ratio, with highly dense banded or flower-patterned specimens ideal for cutting.
