Malachite is a striking green mineral known for its vibrant, swirling patterns and rich, earthy tones. Its color ranges from light green to deep forest green, with distinctive concentric bands or "eyes" that give it a unique, mesmerizing look. Often polished to a smooth finish, malachite is highly sought after for jewelry, sculptures, and decorative items.
