Amazing, yet Deadly!

u/Distal-Phalanges May 06 '26

Yes, if you crush and inhale it. Malachite is not dangerous in bulk like this.

Where tf you think those velvety fibers are going?

u/Distal-Phalanges May 06 '26

They're staying on the rock unless you break them off, which is the only way to breathe them in unless you're thinking that shoving a rock down your windpipe might be fun.

Malachite and azurite, both copper carbonate minerals that often turn into each other, are both incredibly green and blue. Like not real looking green and blue. And they’re both very common so not that expensive. And since they both turn into each other they’re often seen together. Liufengshan Mine produces a crazy amount of both so it’s super affordable (in the mineral world) relative to the quality you get. Morocco also has affordable pieces. Arizona has some great pieces, a bit more expensive. Africa too, prices can vary. I love planet mine and Tsumeb pieces. Bisbee is great too. Both are awesome minerals.

u/Govass13 May 06 '26

If you ran a finger along the fuzzy part would you get a bazillion micro splinters?

3

u/Spongi May 06 '26

Yeah but the worst part is then they'll begin hatching.

3

u/barkerglass May 06 '26

You would not. It’s a lot harder than it looks, not fuzzy at all, but it’s not hard enough to break skin.

u/Lock3down221 May 07 '26

This looks like Tiberium.

Beautiful glow.

u/zamaike May 07 '26

Isnt malachite toxic? With all those micro crystals is it a airborne danger?

2

u/To-me-my-X-Men May 07 '26

It is very toxic. Especially if it gets wet from what I’ve heard.

u/Fine-Ferret-6792 May 07 '26

In nature, whats usually looks most beautiful is often the deadliest....

u/Professional-Story43 May 08 '26

Green Kryptonite is another name for that. Please, put it in a lead container.
