What is Malachite?
Malachite is a green copper carbonate hydroxide mineral with a chemical composition of Cu2(CO3)(OH)2.
It was one of the first ores used to produce copper metal. I
t is of minor importance today as an ore of copper because it is usually found in small
quantities and can be sold for higher prices for other types of use.
Malachite has been used as a gemstone and sculptural material for thousands of years and is still popular today.
Today it is most often cut into cabochons or beads for jewelry use.
Malachite has a green color that does not fade over time or when exposed to light.
Those properties, along with its ability to be easily ground to a powder,
made malachite a preferred pigment and coloring agent for thousands of years.

Where Does Malachite Form?
Malachite is a mineral that forms at shallow depths within the Earth, in the oxidizing zone above copper deposits.
It precipitates from descending solutions in fractures, caverns, cavities, and the intergranular spaces of porous rock.
It often forms within limestone where a subsurface chemical environment favorable for the formation of carbonate minerals can occur.
Associated minerals include azurite, bornite, calcite, chalcopyrite, copper, cuprite, and a variety of iron oxides.
Some of the first malachite deposits to be exploited were located in Egypt and Israel. Over 4000 years ago, they were mined and used to produce copper.
Material from these deposits was also used to produce gemstones, sculptures, and pigments.
Several large deposits in the Ural Mountains of Russia were aggressively mined, and they supplied abundant gem and sculptural material in the 1800s.
Very little is produced from these deposits today. Much of the malachite entering the lapidary market today is
from deposits in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Smaller amounts are produced in Australia, France, and Arizona.
Malachite, with its beautiful, rich green color, leaves no doubt of its importance as a jewel. Its opaque strength and power demands respect,
mesmerizing the viewer. Yet the movement, flow and energy in its lines,
circles and designs soothe and welcome. It is spiritually inviting.
Malachite personifies the deep healing green of nature and represents the innate beauty of flowers, trees, roots and plants.
It manifests a deep Devic green which rules the material plane, It is a Stone of Transformation, assisting one in changing situations
and providing for spiritual growth.It heals on physical and emotional levels,
drawing out impurities and stimulating the Life Force throughout the aura and body.
The name Malachite may come from the Greek word malakee, or malache, signifying the resemblance of Mallow leaves,
or from the Greek word malakos, meaning soft.Being a carbonate of copper,
Malachite is sometimes intergrown with Azurite, forming Malachite-Azurite, or with Chrysocolla, forming Malachite-Chrysocolla.
Well known to ancient Egyptians, Malachite mines were in use between the Suez and Sinai as early as 4000 B.C.
It was also popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans, for jewelry, ornaments, and in powdered form, for eye shadow.
In the Middle Ages, Malachite was believed to protect against the "Evil Eye" and to cure various stomach ailments.
Russian czars used Malachite for ornaments and paneling for their castles, and intricate inlay work. [Simmons, 247]
Inherent in Malachite is lighter green eye-shaped forms or bands on its surface.
These "eye stones," believed to enhance great visionary powers,
were used to ward off negative happenings. They were stones of security and protection for children,
and their most remarkable association today is the ability to warn of impending danger by breaking into pieces. [Mella, 90]
