Malachite – Durango, Mexico

This extraordinary malachite specimen comes from the classic mining area in the Mexican state of Durango. The contrasting layers are particularly prized, with the deep green of the malachite standing out impressively from the iron-rich matrix – as can be seen particularly well in this piece.

Crystal formation – Fine-needled and geode-like

Inside the naturally formed hollow shape, countless fine-needled malachite crystals have joined together to form a dense carpet. This filigree structure gives the geode-like lining a fascinating depth and makes the piece exciting from every angle.

Color effect – Bright green contrasting with the matrix

The rich, emerald-like green of the malachite contrasts strikingly with the brown-reddish matrix. This interplay of color and texture creates a natural drama and emphasizes the geological character of the find.

A classic from Mexico full of character

Malachite is one of the best-known copper minerals, and specimens from Durango are prized for their intense color and expressive shapes. This piece combines geological authenticity with aesthetic appeal, making it a compelling classic of Mexican mineralogy.
