Description
First used by Pliny the Elder, Malachite is a stone etymologically rooted from the word ‘mallow’, in Greek called Malaki, meaning the mallow plant. The peculiar look of malachite is similar to the mallow plant. Experts also say malachite derives roots from the Greek Word Malaki, meaning soft.
The transparent and translucent gemstone portrays vitreous to velvet and even needle-like texture. With a chemical composition of copper carbonate, malachite shows a green streak. The brittle stone is also very soft owing to lower gauge on the Mohs scale.
