Malachite (from the Greek Μολοχίτης, meaning “mallow green”) is a copper mineral belonging to the carbonate class; more precisely, it is a copper carbonate hydroxide. It effervesces upon contact with hydrochloric acid.
It is almost always microcrystalline, forming as an alteration layer of copper minerals, but it is also found in fibrous layers and in kidney-shaped or efflorescent clusters. Malachite can rarely be found in small, needle-shaped crystals in some cavities.
