Characteristics:
Color: Green, ranging from light to dark green, often with overlapping stripes or veins, creating natural shapes like eyes, waves, or circles.
Hardness: Malachite has a Mohs hardness of approximately 3.5 to 4, making it relatively soft compared to other gemstones. It can be easily scratched or broken if not handled carefully.
Composition: Mainly composed of copper minerals, the distinctive green color of malachite is due to the presence of copper.
Origin: Malachite is typically mined from large copper deposits, with notable sources including Congo, Russia, Zambia, Australia, and the United States.
Uses and Significance:
Decorative and artistic: Malachite is widely used in the crafting of decorative items, vases, furniture, and jewelry. Its unique color patterns often make it a popular choice in art pieces and luxury decorations.
Spiritual and Feng Shui: In ancient cultures, malachite was considered a protective stone, believed to absorb negative energy and protect the wearer from harm. It is also thought to bring prosperity, luck, and emotional balance.
Traditional Medicine: Some believe that malachite can help reduce stress and anxiety, and aid in achieving emotional balance.
