i am not for sure but it one of these malachite a copper ore or galena,gray-black eye paints
Egyptians were very particular about their eye makeup, or kohl. Popular shades of kohl up were black and green. The green color was made of malachite, an oxide of copper. Black kohl was called galena. Both malachite and galena were ground on a palette with gum or water to make a paste. It was applied with sticks which were round ended and were made of wood, glass or bronze. Also, henna was used to color hair, lips and nails.
The primary pigments are yellow, cyan, magenta, and black.
Copper oxide appears as a black or dark brown powder after copper has burned.
Copper wiring turns black due to oxidation. It is the air reacting with the metal. Copper wiring also sometimes turns green.
Kohl was a pigment used for eye makeup in Ancient Egypt. It consisted mainly of galena, which is a type of lead, as well as malachite and cerussite.

Kohl refers to finely ground galena.
which pigment do we now call kohl- a copper ore or galena, a gray-black eye paint
Out of the choices of malachite, copper, or gray-black, the pigment you would now call kohl is gray-black. Kohl was a form of eye paint used like eyeliner or eye shadow by the Egyptians.

In order to extract copper from malachite, the malachite must be heated to a high temperature. This produces a fine black powder (copper Oxide). The copper oxide is heated again to a more extreme temperature, this removes the oxygen, leaving metallic copper.
Malachite is green and forms with azurite which is a dark blue or peridot is green and forms on blackish gray rocks Is there any crystal structure or is it just a rock with no crystals on it?
BLACK
The chemical equation is:Cu2CO3(H2O)----------------2 CuO + CO2 + H2O
Real old-fashioned kohl like the ancient Egyptians wore is ground-up lead ore. A similar product called kajal is made by dipping cloth in sandalwood paste repeatedly, letting it dry then burning it and collecting the soot.
The green powder is copper (2) carbonate. When heated it decomposes to give copper (2) oxide (which is black) and carbon dioxide . It is a compound.
