Malachite forms in copper deposits worldwide, with notable sources in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Russia, and Arizona. The stone registers 3.5–4 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it softer than quartz but suitable for protective jewelry settings.

Malachite should avoid prolonged water exposure. The stone is porous and rates 3.5–4 on the Mohs scale, so moisture can dull its polish over time. Remove malachite jewelry before swimming or showering.
Wipe malachite with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with no chemicals or soap, then dry the stone immediately. Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steam on malachite.
Malachite prices vary based on banding quality, color intensity, and stone size. High-grade malachite with defined concentric patterns costs more than specimens with irregular markings. Sterling silver settings add to the overall value.
