Malachite was used as jewelry thousands of years ago by the ancients Egyptians. Malachite is usually cabochon set in silver. Russian malachite carvings were done in miniature and in large scale; malachite was also inlaid in furniture. Malachite has a hardness of 4 and a specific gravity of 3.80. It is monoclinic; it has one two-fold axis of symmetry. Malachite is sometimes coated with colorless wax, oil, or hardening agents to increase its durability and enhance its appearance.
a green copper mineral; basic copper carbonate; Cu2CO3(OH)2
(14th century, from the Greek malakhe, meaning "mallow ...a plant similar in colour) A carbonate of copper, malachite is opaque or semi-opaque and always green. It has striking colour stratification, varying from a bright green to a very dark, even blackish green. The "stripes" are generally curved according to the outer surface of the stone.
CU2C03(OH)2 Malachite, a minor ore of copper, is a highly popular semi-precious stone. It forms near the surface of the Earth when copper-rich water interacts with carbonate-rich rocks. It commonly grows as groups of crystals that form concentric rings, and the bulls eye and ringed patterns in widely varying shades of green make malachite popular among collectors. A decorative stone, it was used for columns and facades of prominent buildings in Russia. Sources are Zaire, the United States, and Russia.
Malachite, a hydrous carbonate of copper, is a popular opaque stone with bands of green and black. Many beautiful specimens of malachite contain other minerals, such as azurite, cuprite, or chrysocolla. Malachite can be found in Zaire, USSR, Germany, France, Chile, Australia, Arizona and New Mexico/USA. It is a relatively soft stone with a hardness of 4 on the Mohs scale.

A dark green semiprecious stone that has banding of lighter green. Malachite is found near copper and some believe smelting copper could have been discovered when a malachite amulet fell into a fire.
This semiprecious green stone is a copper mineral that has a characteristic banding pattern. It has a hardness of 3.5-4 on the Mohs' scale.
Widespread carbonate mineral of copper, malachite serves as a prospecting guide because of its distinctive bright green color and its presence in the weathered zone of nearly all copper deposits.
hydrous carbonate of copper, malachite is an opaque green stone characterized by bands of light and dark green which have very pronounced contrast and are often concentric. A source of copper.
A mineral, which is characterized in appearance by bands of light and dark green.
