Malachite is an opaque stone in deep green shades. Thin, banded lines gently complement its striking colours. If we look at malachite’s chemical structure, it is copper bicarbonate. It usually forms coatings, acicular crystals or stable kidney aggregates with a layered structure. In ancient Egypt, people carved cameos, amulets and other decorative objects from this tone.

Special conditions/ treatment: Stones are fragile, not stable against chemicals and prone to a mechanical damage.

About the product: Malachite has been cut and smoothed out into a hexagonal point. Its base has been cut flat to make it stand solidly. The product is sold by weight; the price is per 1 kg. Points are approximately 6 - 8 cm long and their weight ranges approx. between 30 and 50 g.
