Malachite on Quartz Fine Mineral Specimen
Description
This dramatic malachite on quartz specimen features a wide, richly textured blanket of deep green malachite crystals spreading across bright white quartz. The malachite forms thousands of sparkling microcrystals, creating a velvety, forest-green surface that contrasts beautifully with the snow-white quartz beneath.
Dimensions & Weight
Measurements: 3” x 2.5” x 1”
Weight: 93g
Collector’s Notes
The layered growth visible along the edges reveals multiple mineralization phases, making this a highly visual and geologically interesting piece.
Specimens with this much continuous malachite coverage on quartz are increasingly sought after. The bright quartz matrix enhances color saturation and makes the green appear even more vivid, which is highly prized by collectors.
Highlights
Lusterous botryoidal malachite
Bright quartz contrast
Natural layered mineral growth
Strong color saturation
Untreated and natural
Metaphysical Properties
Malachite is associated with transformation, protection, and emotional release. Quartz amplifies its energy, making this piece ideal for cleansing, manifestation, and heart-chakra work.
Mineralogy
Malachite: Cu₂(CO₃)(OH)₂
Quartz: SiO₂
Crystal systems: Monoclinic (malachite), Trigonal (quartz)
