Eye shadow was made of crushed malachite and lipstick of ochre.
It is associated with wroewolfeite, posnjakite, serpierite, devilline, chalcophyllite, connellite, brochantite, malachite and gypsum.
After the chalcocite ore was exhausted the mines worked malachite and azurite deposits embedded in hydrothermally-altered dolomite.
It is named after the formerly malachite green painted column bases and capitals of the initial rooms.
Aquatic animals metabolize malachite green to its leuco form.
Associated minerals include: rosasite, smithsonite, hemimorphite, hydrozincite, malachite and azurite.
A malachite green counterstain gives a blue-green background cast to the surrounding tissue.
