Natural Crystalline Malachite Specimens x 4 From Tenke Fungumure, Congo Multi - Mineral the Kunene River material presentsPRODUCT DESCRIPTION Classic Botryoidal Malachite: A Rare Gem from the Congo Malachite, is a green Copper Carbonate Hydroxide mineral with a chemical composition of Cu2(CO3)(OH)2. It was one of the first ores used to produce Copper metal. Our specimens are sourced from the Congo which extensively mines the material for its Copper content, thus getting specimen grade material is quite difficult. The mineral's name has evolved over time; Pliny the Elder
