Malachite is one of my favorite stones. Especially those from the Congo. I love when I have a stone being discussed. I'll examine mine while listening to natalie
Thank you so much for bringing light to this topic. I just got a crystal subscription box today and I pulled out the malachite necklace and I knew right away that it was fake. It feels like plastic and like the pattern was painted on. The color is off completely and the strips look like zebras. period not only that but they put a metal piece on the top wrapping around the crystal to make it feel heavy. This is the second false Stone I got out of the subscription. The 1st was citrine ....It's called mindful Souls. So anyone with this subscription needs to cancel it because they can't be allowed to give us fake crystals.!
Awesome video fantastic knowledge again looks like a brain for sure but if you were a hunter it also looks like remains left by certain animals sweet green though thank you for a wonderful video
Kind of dislike how she glosses over the banding or botryoidal. As she is an expert on gemstones/minerals I was hoping for an explanation on the formation of crystalline structures due to the chemical composition and the environment it’s formed in (like how the space packing of the individual molecule shapes under certain pressures and temperatures makes that bubbling look), but she didn’t really say anything of interest on it...
I have an amethyst has turned a very dark colour to brownish colour, it was very bright b4 now it's gone super dark. Q: Why do some gemstones change colour after a long length of time... and can an Amethyst change it's colour if it's set in silver?
I have a question: I have 2 stones that I have an option to get as a decorative piece. There is a large hickoryite or I have an option of Malachite? Is one more valuable then the other?
Both materials tend to be affordable. Malachite can range depending on the quality of the piece. You should collect a piece because you have an affinity for it, and will it bring you joy looking at it. There are other aspects you need to think about. Hickoryite is a rhyolite, and it is fairly bullet proof and the mohs harness ranges from 6.5-7. The malachite ranges from 3.5-4 and is a carbonate that will react to acid. If they will set on a shelf away from the kitchen or bathroom both should be fine. I would also keep the malachite away from little ones. If you are worried about overpaying just look around on the web and see what other specimens are going for.
I remeber reading somewhere that the ancient Egyptians used to crush malachite to a fine powder and use it for eye makeup. Or is that just one of those silly myths people tell because they sound like fun?
Years ago I seen a fireplace mantle carved out of a solid piece of malachite. To day it was beautiful is the understatement of the century
It has amazing cleansing energy

Love malachite so much. Reminds me of fantasy orcs and all. Besides amethyst being my favourite colour and above it always pick malachite
I love love love your mnemonic device for idiochromatic and alochromatic! Those malachites are ridiculous, awesome!
His ring is made of malachite and malachite is my favourite crystal.
love learning more and more about where coloration comes from for my favorite shiny rocks!! keep up the great work!!!
what an awesome little video. i’m so glad i came across this, so much gemstone knowledge!
How do we tell how old a piece of malachite art is and roughly where it may have been carved?
Awesome content! Since malachite is one of those lapidary hazardous stones...maybe do a video on poisonous stones!!! 👍💚💚💚👍🙋
