I was doing some research on the subject of malachite last when when I stumbled upon a very helpful article upon Malachite.
It said that the first use of Russian Malachite known to Westerners was in the buttons of the court ladies' dresses!
As time progressed Malachite become one of the most popular gemstones in Russia. In fact, It became even more popular than diamond! This is astonishing because Malachite is an extremely soft gemstone compared to diamond(the hardest!).
