Malachite
Malachite was one of the first ores used to produce copper metal. While rich in colour, appearance and habit is considered important for these specimens.
The vivid green colour, with hints of blue, bright polished lustre, banding and eyes of malachite make it very popular as a gemstone.
It is cut into decorative ornaments, used to produce beads, sliced into inlay material, sculpted into ornamental objects, and used to manufacture tumbled stones.
