Malachite
Malachite is a very common copper mineral known for its verdigris color with black lines and spherical crystal formations. In nature, malachite is often found in combination with the blue Azurite, which is also a copper mineral. The name comes from the Greek word Mallow which means mallow powder. Malachite was already processed into gemstones in ancient Egypt and it was also known to the Romans. These pieces are great for cutting cabochons or other decorative objects. But one should be warned about the toxicity of malachite. Therefore, you should always take proper safety precautions when cutting.
