Malachite Specimen — Rum Jungle, Northern Territory

Vivid Green from the Top End — Rum Jungle Malachite

This small but characterful malachite specimen hails from Rum Jungle in the Northern Territory — one of Australia's most historically significant uranium and copper mining sites, and a locality that holds a special place in Australian mineralogical history. Malachite from Rum Jungle is a genuine piece of Australian mining heritage.

Malachite's rich, banded emerald and forest greens are instantly recognisable and endlessly appealing. This specimen displays the characteristic botryoidal or encrusting habit typical of malachite from oxidised copper deposits, with the vivid green colouration that has made this mineral beloved by collectors and jewellers for thousands of years.
