Unpolished Malachite

Product description

A nice unpolished specimen of Malachite, as found, discovered in Russia.

Malachite results from the weathering of copper ores and is often found with Azurite, hence the blue colour in this specimen.

Malachite has been mined and smelted for its copper content for over 3000 years.
However, it is also valuable as an ornamental stone when polished.

A nice addition to a collection
