Malachite is usually made into earrings, broches and pendants due to its soft nature. It is sensitive to both acids and heat and requires a soft touch otherwise it will break, however, it is easy to carve and shape and generally polishes up very well. The most common source of this gemstone comes from Africa but can also be found in Israel, Egypt, France, Austrialia, Arizona and the Democratic Replublic of the Congo.
