Malachite is a copper carbonate mineral, named for its emerald green spots that strikingly resemble the plumage of a peacock. In ancient China, it was known as “Lǜqīng” (绿青) or “Shílǜ” (石绿), while its Greek name “Malachite” means “green”.
Malachite boasts a long cultural history, prized by European royalty for crafting seal stones, and also revered as a noble-exclusive jade in Ming and Qing Dynasty China.
