Malachite is a mineral composed of copper carbonate hydroxide, represented by the chemical formula Cu2CO3(OH)2. This opaque mineral features distinctive green bands and crystallizes within the monoclinic system. It typically forms in botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic shapes in fractures and subterranean environments, where the presence of hydrothermal fluids and the water table facilitate chemical precipitation. While individual crystals are uncommon, they can appear as slender or acicular prisms, and pseudomorphs resembling more tabular or blocky azurite crystals are also found.

Care
