Malachite is a mineral belonging to the carbonate family, known since antiquity. It's worth noting that malachite is essentially composed of copper carbonate. Therefore, it's quite easy to find on every continent, as it's often found in copper veins and mines. Its luster ranges from translucent to opaque.
HISTORY
The discovery of malachite is as old as human civilization itself. The discovery of copper naturally led to the discovery of malachite, as it is often found in the mines of the Middle Eastern desert, the cradle of civilization. Its green color, reminiscent of lush green forests, was largely responsible for its popularity among ancient civilizations accustomed to the harshness of the desert.
Etymologically, the origin of the term malachite is quite controversial. The word comes from the Latin *malachites*, which comes from the ancient Greek *moloche*. This term is derived from *malaché*, meaning the mallow plant. The choice of this name by the ancients is attributed to the similarities between the green of malachite and that of mallow leaves. This explanation is not convincing to some, who argue that the origin of the stone's name is actually *malakos*, meaning "soft" in ancient Greek. This explanation would be plausible, especially considering that this name could refer to the stone's low hardness.
