Definition :
Malachite is identified with chrysocolla . which has the shade of budding wheat, in its freshest greenery according to Pliny the Elder. The name of this mineral comes from the Latin malachites deformation of the ancient Greek molochē (μολóχη), variant of malachē (μαλάχη), meaning according to the context : “ soft, voluptuous, effeminate », in allusion not to the color but to the plant nicknamed Mauve because of the softness of its curves.
