Description
This natural malachite specimen features rich, forest-green copper mineralization accented by softly contrasting calcite crystals. The surface shows malachite’s characteristic velvety texture and layered growth, while the calcite introduces pale, translucent forms that rise gently from the matrix. The interplay between the deep green malachite and light-toned calcite gives the piece a quiet depth—grounded, organic, and visually balanced.
It’s a specimen that feels both earthy and refined, offering complexity without excess.
Dimensions & Weight
• 2.5” × 2” × 1.25”
• 137g
Collector’s Notes
This is a well-balanced malachite with calcite association, sized perfectly for open or cabinet display. The calcite crystals are naturally formed and intact, providing contrast without overpowering the malachite’s presence. Untreated and unpolished, this piece preserves its natural surfaces and textures. A strong example for collectors who value mineral relationships and subtle composition.
Highlights
• Natural malachite with calcite association
• Deep green color
• Visible calcite crystal formations
• High luster fibrous crystal formations
• Rare combination
• One-of-a-kind piece
Mineralogy
Malachite is a secondary copper carbonate mineral that forms through the weathering of copper deposits, often developing botryoidal or fibrous textures. Calcite commonly appears alongside malachite, crystallizing from calcium-rich fluids and adding structural contrast. Together, they reflect the complex geochemical conditions of copper-bearing environments.
Metaphysical Properties
Malachite is often associated with transformation and grounding, while calcite is linked with clarity and balance. Many collectors appreciate this combination for the way it visually represents contrast and harmony within a single natural form.
