About Velvet Malachite

Velvet Malachite is a fibrous variety of malachite that develops with an incredibly soft, matte appearance despite being entirely mineral. Formed through the weathering of copper deposits over millions of years, each specimen develops unique botryoidal formations and rich emerald to deep forest-green colouring.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is considered one of the world's finest sources of collector-grade malachite, producing some of the most dramatic and aesthetically striking specimens available.
