[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4898060, member: 110226"]Malachite is a fascinating mineral that forms as crusts, botryoidal (grape-like) forms, crystalline forms and in massive forms. The Russian specimen is a classic example of the massive form. So massive were the Ural deposits of high quality malachite that the tsars used it for table tops, large vases, panels and other decorative objects. There are many example of this type of malachite in the Hermitage and other world museums. Here's a photo of the malachite room, Winter Palace, St. Petersburg, Russia: [IMG]https://gemsanatomy.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/img_7719.jpg?w=584[/IMG][/QUOTE]
