Jade (China) Piece is a copper-rich mineral that has been used for thousands of years to make pigments, paints, and mosaics. This particular malachite is from the Congo Region, which is known for its large, bright green malachite specimens. This material is very clean and pure - no host rock or other minerals. This stone is sold in 1/2 ounce units and is great for jewelry embellishments and/or woodworking inlay.

This material is considered to be medium to fine, ranging between 2 millimeters to 0.25 millimeters. This product is NOT Man-Made, mixed with resin, or stabilized. Stone authenticity is extremely important to all artisans; therefore, we strive to validate the source of all our minerals before they are crushed.
