Collection: Malachite/Chrysocolla

Malachite is a green, copper-based mineral that has been used for centuries in jewelry, sculptures, and pigments for paint due to its vibrant hue. This opaque, green banded mineral crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, and most often forms botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses. It is typically found in copper deposits around the world, especially in Russia, Zaire, Australia, and Arizona in the United States. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, malachite also holds significant historical importance as it was used by ancient civilizations as a talisman for protection and good fortune. Today, it remains a popular choice for decorative items and jewelry.
