Malachite is considered a rare gemstone in that the original deposits for the stones have been depleted leaving behind very few sources. The use of Malachite as gemstones and sculptural materials remains just as popular today as they were throughout history. It's quite common to cut the stone into beads or cabochons for jewelry. The fact that Malachite has such a rich color and one that doesn't fade with time or when exposed to light makes it particularly rare. Malachite can be expensive for many reasons. The fact that it doesn't come from all over the world but from specific regions of the world makes the supply rather limited, increasing the value. The purity of most Malachite clusters that don't feature any type of azurite adds significantly to the expense. More importantly, most Malachite is found in the form of Malachite clusters deep in caves so it has to be removed from the cave and then processed but the size and shape of the stalactite dictate what sized gemstones can be cut from it. Finding natural reserves of larger clusters is much more difficult than finding larger gemstones, which makes larger gemstones more expensive.
