About This Malachite

Malachite is green in concentric rings and bands, sometimes bullseye patterns, sometimes sweeping stripes. The color is the color of oxidized copper because that's exactly what it is. It polishes to a mirror shine.

Sourced directly from Haut-Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo. At 3.5-4 on the Mohs scale, it's on the softer end. Keep it away from water and store it separately from harder pieces. Worth knowing: a lot of the malachite on the market is stabilized and sold as imitation. What we carry is natural and untreated.

Used extensively in ancient Egypt for eye cosmetics.

Traditionally Used For

In crystal traditions, malachite is often associated with working through difficult feelings at your own pace, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and clarifying what you actually want. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity High

Malachite sits at 3.5-4 on the Mohs scale, soft enough to scratch with a knife, so keep it dry and store it on its own. Long soaks dull the surface, so keep any water contact brief and dry it fully.

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real malachite, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural malachite from Haut-Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Most polished malachite on the market is sold natural, though some lower-grade material is reconstituted from chips or stabilized with resin. Ours is solid natural malachite. We disclose any treatment when confirmed.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 1.25 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 50 to 100 grams. About 8 to 12 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does AA grade mean?

Grade AA. Strong green banding, hand polished smooth, natural variation in pattern between pieces. Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. This region supplies most of the world's commercial malachite. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
