The stone's name derives from Greek "molochitis lithos" (mallow-green stone). The mineral was given this name due to its resemblance to the leaves of the Mallow plant. Archeological evidence indicates that the mineral has been mined and smelted to obtain copper at Timna Valley in Israel for over 3,000 years. Since then, malachite has been used as both an ornamental stone and as a gemstone.
