Did you know?
The name malachite comes from the Latin "malachites" meaning "through" and the ancient Greek "malakhé" meaning "mauve".
This green stone inherited its name because of its green color, which particularly resembles that of mallow leaves.
In ancient times, malachite stone was used in powder form in various iconographic paintings.
According to their belief, the Romans considered it to possess protective virtues.
But here we'll focus on its aesthetic qualities rather than its virtues and history.
