Description

Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, known for its vibrant green color and distinctive banded patterns. It has been used for millennia as both an ornamental stone and a source of copper. High-quality specimens are prized by collectors and lapidaries alike. Malachite from the Katanga region of the Democratic Republic of Congo is particularly well-regarded due to its intense color and unique formations. This specimen's botryoidal habit, resembling a bunch of grapes, is a common and desirable form. Malachite is often associated with healing and transformation in metaphysical practices.
