Malachite comes from copper ore, thus exuding a green appearance. Its origin dates back to ancient Egypt and as with several other precious stones, was believed to possess magical powers. It has been found in Zaire, France, England, Rhodesia, New Mexico, and Arizona. It is rare and highly esteemed by mineral collectors for its deep rainforest green hues that often alternate with lighter green hues in a linear pattern. Malachite is used for making beads, carved figurines, and cabochons (cut stones). However, larger quantities have been used in certain palace walls and buildings in Russia.
