Unlike banded or polished malachite, Velvet Malachite appears more natural, softer in appearance, and particularly deep in color. Specimens from the Tantara Mine in the Congo are among the highest-quality examples worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Tantara Mine a reliable source for malachite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes – the Tantara Mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is regarded among mineral collectors as one of the most renowned sources for high-quality malachite.

Malachite has a Mohs hardness of about 3.5–4, making it a relatively soft mineral, and it should not be stored together with harder stones. A dry or slightly damp, soft cloth is sufficient for cleaning.
