Malachite has become very trendy these days, but did you know that it was first mined in Sinai around 4000 BC?{source}and {source} It is actually a copper mineral. I didn't know any of this. What I do know is that it became popular in the Victorian era. As I am reading Anna Karenina right now, I noticed a passage about Anna's "malachite covered blotting book" (pg. 143).
It is a beautiful material that has inspired fabric as well as numerous other forms of fashion and decor recently. I am on board with this trend because I think it is far more of a classic than a fad, and because it is just plain beautiful.
