Malachite on Quartz Fine Mineral Specimen

$30.00

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)
