Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral with the chemical formula Cu2CO3(OH)2. It's formed when copper orebodies weather. Malachite is opaque and green-banded, and it crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system. It often forms in fractures and underground spaces as botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses. Individual crystals are rare, but when they do occur, they are slender to acicular prisms. The last photo is not for sale...it is showing raw malachite. This piece is from the 1960's era. Excellent for mid-century modern MCM decor and enthusiasts, as well sophisticated, modern or artistic style, including Christmas. It is in very good condition for its age.
