Malachite is a mineral , my dad used to bring it home when he worked in the copper mines in Zambia!!

Useless fact about Malachite!!

you car's colour could also be described as copper carbonite - which also sounds cool!!

Malachite green was the chosen colour of all Southern Railway vehicles between wwI/II so somebody liked it, for steam engines and general old-school railway stuff.
That probably hasn't elevated it's coolness... ;-)
