Today the most common source of Malachite comes from Africa. The supplies that were historically available in the Ural Mountains are mostly gone as are the supplies that were exploited throughout Israel and Egypt. Today the majority of the Malachite Market is produced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with smaller amounts found in France, Australia, and the state of Arizona.
