      Malachite is a common copper carbonate hydroxide mineral and is found all over the world. Malachite often grows with other copper minerals like Azurite, Bornite, Calcite, Chalcopyrite, Copper, Cuprite, and other iron oxides. Malachite was mined in ancient Egypt and Isreal up to 4,000 years ago. Malachite generally forms as crystalline aggregates or crusts with gorgeous banding like Agates. It's generally found as stalactites and botryoidal coatings on the surfaces of underground cavities, similar to the deposits of calcite found in caves. Malachite also forms as a pseudomorph after Azurite crystal forms, typically in a tabular formation. Malachite was named in antiquity (Pliny the Elder, 79 CE) molochitus after the Greek  word “μαλαχή” meaning "mallows" after the green color of leaves.
