Malachite is a copper carbonate mineral with a chemical formula of Cu2[(OH)2 CO3].
It can form acicular and prismatic crystals but is more commonly botryoidal, massive, or as stalactites.
It is a vibrant green color often banded with light and dark greens and has a light green streak.
Malachite is the result of the oxydation of copper sulfide minerals. It is found associated with azurite, cuprite, and chalcopyrite. It has long been used as a source of copper, pigments, and decorative objects.
