The first mine was found in Britain, known as the Great Orme Mines, which is approximately 3,800 years old. They used nothing more than stone and bone tools to mine Malachite.
800 years later, they discovered a way to obtain the copper by smelting it and use the copper for tools.

The Ancient Egyptians ground Malachite, just like Lapis Lazuli, to powder. It was then used for makeup, paintings and other ancient relics.
The Ancient Mayans used it for the death mask of the Red Queen of Palenque.
