  Abstract: Malachite Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 is a common hydroxycarbonate that contains about 15.3 wt %
  H2O. Its structural chemistry sheds light on other hydroxyl minerals that play a role in the water
  recycling of our planet. Here using Raman and infrared spectroscopy measurements, we studied
  the vibrational characteristics and structural evol
