Malachite Beads

 

Malachite is a green secondary copper mineral with a widely variable habit. Typically it is found as crystalline aggregates (mass) or crusts, often banded in appearance, like agates. It is also often found as botryoidal clusters of radiating crystals, and as mammillary  (smoothly rounded convex surfaces) aggregates as well.
