Malachite is a copper carbonate with distinctive green veining. Though not a particularly hard stone, it takes an excellent polish. Malachite is usually found near copper ore deposits. The most famous malachite mines were in the Ural mountains in Russia, where 20 ton blocks were once taken from the quarries to decorate the palaces of the Russian tsars.
Today the malachite crystal is a scarcer material and the most important producer is the Congo (formerly known as Zaire). Malachite is indeed one of the most popular green gems and is frequently used in gemstone rings, - it is very-well suited for other types of gemstone jewelry, including gemstone earrings, pins and brooches, as well as in necklaces and fine gemstone pendants.
Malachite Price
Malachite is a modestly priced gemstone with prices often ranging from $1 to $5 per carat even for larger gemstones. Malachite is usually cut into slightly larger carat weights of 10 carat and up, and it is not uncommon to find collector’s items with a weight well over 100 carat that is often used as paperweights. The malachite price is very attractive for hoppy jewelry makers as well.
Birthstones and Anniversaries
Malachite is not a traditional or official birthstone but can be a natural birthstone for those born in the springtime – March to May in the northern hemisphere or September to November in the southern half of the world. Malachite is an alternate gemstone for 13th Anniversary celebrations.
