Meaning

 
This is a Copper ore called Malachite which has the Chemical Formula Cu2CO3(OH)2.

An ore is a rock that has a large enough amount of a mineral to be worth extracting the metal from that mineral.

About Ores

Ores are found in different places on the Earth's Crust.
All rocks have minerals in them but most do not have them in a large enough fraction to be worth the money it would take to extract a metal from them.
