📜 Sheet +:

Fibrous malachite is a variety of malachite (a copper carbonate, formula Cu₂(CO₃)(OH)₂) distinguished by its crystal structure of very fine fibers or needles, often arranged in radiating bundles or compact masses.

Congo fibrous malachite is a rare and precious variety of malachite, renowned for its unique crystalline structure and its powerful virtues in lithotherapy.

It is distinguished by its micro-crystal formations which give it a shimmering and silky appearance, often compared to velvet or silk.

🔍 Characteristics of fibrous malachite:

Visual appearance: Silky or velvety texture, sometimes shimmering ("cat's eye" effect).

Color: Bright green to dark green, typical of malachite.

Structure: Microscopic crystalline fibers that give a silky shine.

Origin: Often found in oxidized zones of copper deposits, associated with azurite, chrysocolla, or native copper.

Use: Less frequently used in jewelry (because it is relatively fragile), but appreciated in lithotherapy, in collecting and sometimes in sculpture.

Little story / peculiarity

Malachite has been known and used since ancient Egypt as a green pigment and protective stone. The rarer, silky fibrous variety is highly prized for its beauty. It was also used as a talisman against the "evil eye." In lithotherapy, it is said to act as a mirror to the soul, revealing areas in need of healing.
