<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 9746807, member: 5398&quot;]I really appreciate everyone&#039;s comments, and interesting that several think they are malachite. Thank you to Debora for pointing out that &quot;Malacite&quot; is malachite in Slovak.&nbsp; Davey, your chunks of malachite look like what I think malachite should look like--mine seem much darker even in bright sunlight and have a lot of black--or is that because of the way they were cut? </p><p><br /></p><p>I also appreciate Hollyblue&#039;s opinion that they look more like verdite or a combination of malachite/azurite. Here are more photos with the best lighting I could find today. They do have kind of a glass-like polish on only one side--the 3rd photo is the only one that shows a reflection. They could use a good polishing as komokwa suggested, but I think I&#039;d have to take them to a lapidary shop, or is there something I could use at home to polish them?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]478016[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478020[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
