Its English name, Malachite, originates from the Greek word "Mallache," meaning "green." In ancient China, malachite was known as "Lüqing," "Shilü," or "Qinglang'gan." The gemstone earned its beautiful name due to its vibrant green hues, reminiscent of the colors found on peacock feathers. Malachite is found in the oxidized zones of copper sulfide deposits, often coexisting with other copper-bearing minerals like azurite, cuprite, and native copper. Grade A: Deeper green hues, ranging from emerald green to blackish-green and sky blue. Features visible banding and concentric ring patterns, with a dense structure, fine texture, and greater hardness and relative density. Grade B: Lighter green hues, predominantly emerald green. Often exhibits ring and band patterns alternating between pale white and emerald green. The pale white areas are softer, forming grooves, and the overall piece displays variations in hardness. Derong Collection Encyclopedia - Synthetic Malachite: As shown in the last image, the piece above is synthetic malachite. Its patterns appear rigid, and it lacks the cool touch of natural stone.
