Collection: MALACHITE

Malachite is a vibrant green mineral made of copper carbonate hydroxide, known for its striking banded patterns that range from light to dark green. It forms in the oxidation zones of copper deposits, where copper minerals react with water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen over long periods, often creating layered, flowing designs. Historically, malachite has been used since ancient Egypt for jewelry, amulets, and decorative objects, and it was also ground into pigment for green paint. It remains popular today in ornamental carvings and jewelry because of its bold color and naturally patterned appearance.
