Malachite, the general meaning of its name is known as purifying.

Malachite is a popular mineral with its intense green color and beautiful banded masses. Banded specimens consist of massive, botryoidal, kidney-shaped, and, especially, stalactite malachite, which is a dense intergrowth of tiny, fibrous needles. Densely banded specimens are often sliced and polished to bring out their beautiful color. The bands can consist of concentric rings with interesting patterns; such specimens are highly sought after.
