Fibrous malachite is a rare and fascinating variety of malachite, which exhibits a distinct fibrous appearance due to its unique crystal structure. This form of malachite is characterized by fine fibers, which create a velvet or silky visual effect on the surface of the stone.
Properties and features:
- Aspect: Fibrous malachite has a silky appearance with fine striations and a subtle sheen. This texture gives an effect of movement and shine when light falls on the surface of the stone.
- Color: Like all varieties of malachite, the color is deep green, but the fibrous appearance can accentuate the stone's natural hue variations and stripes.
- Composition: It is a copper carbonate, formed under hydrothermal conditions and rich in copper minerals.
- Hardness: Almost 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale, which means that it is relatively soft and requires special care when used in jewelry.
Benefits and Uses: Fibrous malachite is known for its protective and transformative properties. Like ordinary malachite, it has the ability to absorb negative energies and support positive changes in the wearer's life. Its fibrous texture intensifies these properties, giving it a special energy of stability and protection.
