Malachite is a carbonate mineral normally known as "copper carbonate"Malachite often results from weathering of copper ores and is often found together with azurite. Except for its vibrant green color, the properties of malachite are similar to those of azurite and aggregates of the two minerals occur frequently together. Malachite is more common than azurite and is typically associated with copper deposits around limestones, the source of the carbonate.Large quantities of malachite have been mined in the Urals. It is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo; Zambia; Namibia; Ural mountains, Russia; Mexico; Broken Hill, New South Wales; England; Lyon; and in the Southwestern United States especially in Arkansas and Arizona. In Israel, malachite is extensively mined at Timna, often called King Solomon's Mines. Archeological evidence indicates that the mineral has been mined and smelted at the site for over 3,000 years. Most of Timna's current production is also smelted, but the finest pieces are worked into silver jewelry. The stone's name derives (via Latin and French) from Greek molochitis, "mallow-green stone", from moloch, variant of malach, "mallow". Malachite was used as a mineral pigment in green paints from antiquity until about 1800 Malachite: A stone of transformation that assists in change situations and clearing all chakras.  It can be used to facilitate insight into the cause of specific condition.
