| Formula: | Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 |
| Comments: | Blaß et al. (2021, p. 17) has two photos of malachite. It was found as very small "warts" of a typical green color, in association with a covellite grain. The needle-like crystals of malachite were only visible with the SEM. A SEM-EDS analysis confirmed the presence of Cu and C. |
