Extra Polished Botryoidal Malachite Stone (Collection) on Acrylic Base 1.105 Kg
Energy Meaning
Malachite is historically one of the most powerful stones for protection and transformation. Known as the "Shaman's Stone," it acts as a shield against negative energies and electromagnetic pollution. Its energy is intense and deeply connected to the heart chakra, facilitating the release of old emotional traumas and promoting emotional healing. Its botryoidal shape, with concentric layers, amplifies its ability to absorb dense energies, also symbolizing cycles of growth and renewal. It is a crystal of profound change and protection.
Detailed Gemological and Geological Analysis
-
Chemical Classification: Basic Copper Carbonate.
-
Chemical Formula: Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂.
-
Crystal System: Monoclinic . Despite its system, Malachite rarely forms visible crystals. This specimen exhibits a botryoidal (forming globular aggregates resembling bunches of grapes) and reniform (kidney-shaped) habit, which are the most valued for ornamental pieces.
-
Mineral Class: Carbonates.
-
Chemical Composition: Hydroxylated Copper Carbonate. It is a secondary mineral formed by the alteration of other copper minerals. Its intense green color is a direct indicator of the presence of copper ions (Cu²⁺) in its structure.
-
Rarity: Common as a copper mineral, however massive specimens with well-defined banded patterns, high contrast and "extra" polish quality like this one, have moderate to high rarity in the collectible market.
-
Occurrence & Locality: This specimen was found in the Democratic Republic of Congo , one of the world's most prolific and renowned sources of gem-quality and ornamental malachite.
-
Rock Composition: Malachite frequently occurs in oxidation zones of copper sulfide deposits, associated with other secondary minerals such as azurite, cuprite, chrysocolla, and limonite.
-
Rock Formation: Malachite is a secondary mineral . Its genesis occurs through weathering processes and low-temperature hydrothermal alteration. Acidic waters rich in carbon dioxide infiltrate through veins of rock containing primary copper sulfide minerals (such as chalcopyrite and chalcosine). These waters oxidize and dissolve the copper, which is subsequently transported and re-precipitated as malachite when chemical conditions (such as pH) change, filling cavities and fractures or forming botryoidal concretions.
Specimen Dimensions
-
Total Height (with base): 10.5 cm
-
Specimen Width: 11.00 cm
-
Specimen Depth: 7.5 cm
-
Total Weight: 1.105 kg (1105 grams)
Note: The acrylic base ensures a stable and secure presentation, allowing the specimen to be appreciated from all angles. Polishing enhances the unique contrast of the green bands, revealing the silky texture and characteristic luster of Malachite. Dimensions are approximate, as each piece is a unique natural formation.
