About this specimen
Malachite behaves like fabric here. A short emerald nap of fibrous crystals lies over the brown weathered rock, gathering into low rounded bosses and opening, at the upper right, into a brighter fan of longer fibres that throws a silky sheen as the piece is turned.
Malachite (Cu2CO3(OH)2) grows where copper ore meets carbonated groundwater in the weathering zone, and this velvet is nothing more exotic than the same crystal drawn out into hair-fine fibres packed side by side. At Mohs 3.5–4 those fibres crush flat under a fingertip, so treat the surface as look-only: dust it with air rather than a cloth, and keep acids and ammonia-based cleaners well away, since both attack copper carbonates directly.
A thumbnail-plus at 3.6 × 3.0 × 3.3 cm and 40 g, putty-set on a clear acrylic cube that presents the greenest face forward. These images document the specimen you will own, base included.
