Malachite Specimen

Malachite is a copper carbonate mineral that forms in the oxidized zones of copper deposits, where its rich green color comes from its high copper content. While often recognized for its banded and botryoidal forms, malachite can also develop striking fibrous or acicular crystal growth.

This specimen displays deep green, silky-lustrous malachite in dense radiating sprays, creating a highly textured, almost feathered appearance across the surface.
