MALACHITELOG is a space dedicated to exploring the beauty, history, and cultural presence of malachite. Our blog brings together thoughtful observations, research, and reflections about this remarkable green mineral, offering readers a place to deepen their curiosity and appreciation.
William Grant is the creator of MALACHITELOG, driven by a long-standing fascination with natural minerals and the stories they carry. His background in writing and field observation allows him to approach malachite from both a creative and analytical perspective. William believes that understanding a material begins with respecting its origins and the many ways people have interacted with it throughout history.
William’s interest in malachite began during a visit to a small geology exhibit where a vividly banded specimen caught his attention. The intricate layers sparked questions about formation, time, and the earth’s quiet processes. Since then, he has spent years observing malachite in different contexts—museums, natural collections, and personal encounters with raw pieces. He often reflects on how each pattern feels like a record of slow transformation, reminding him that the earth’s artistry is shaped not only by chemistry but by patience. These ongoing observations continue to influence the themes and tone of MALACHITELOG.
