the purpose of boiling of smear in malachite green is to forces a stain to penetrate the endospore wall, it is necessary to heat the slide and the stain to prod the wall to allow the stain to enter.
In spore staining, water is used to decolorize the vegetative cells while leaving the endospores stained. This process helps to highlight the spores as they retain the primary stain, usually malachite green, providing contrast between the spores and the rest of the cell structures.
Malachite green is commonly used to stain endospores in the Schaeffer-Fulton staining technique. This dye is applied to the heat-fixed smear and heated to drive the dye into the endospores. The spores appear green under the microscope while the surrounding cells are counterstained red.
The endospore stain uses malachite green, but this dye is rinsed off the cell during the staining procedure. The endospore itself retains the green color due to its resistance to decolorization, making it appear green against a contrasting counterstain like safranin.
Applying heat during endospore staining helps in the penetration of the primary stain, usually malachite green, into the endospore wall. Heat acts as a mordant that allows the stain to bind more effectively to the endospore, enhancing its visibility under the microscope. This technique improves the contrast between the endospore and the rest of the cell, aiding in their identification and study.
it is used to dye materials like silk,leather and paper.And also to:As mineral specimens, an important ore of copper, as an ornamental stone, a pigment and for jewelry.Natural malachite mineral Specimens
Malachite is a green mineral. Malachite can be found in Arizona.

Malachite is green

Malachite is a monochromatic mineral, being found in only one color, which is green.
The spore would appear to be red as the safranin is heat driven into the many layers of the spore, however, as Malachite green has a weak affinity and is water soluble, it will not likely bind to the spore wall or the cell wall. You might have traces of green on the slide if any, but it will be very little. Your vegetative cells will be pink as well.
Malachite is also green.

The negative spore stain color is pink or red, indicating that the spores are colorless or only weakly stained compared to the rest of the cell. This is in contrast to the positive spore stain, where the spores appear green due to the malachite green staining.
It is heated.
