Malachite is a wonderful deep green copper mineral that has been prized for centuries as an ornamental stone. It has formations can that range from massive aggregates to fine-grained powders, and its green color is a result of copper hydroxide. Malachite has been a popular ornamental stone for centuries and has served in many different ways. It was used for jewellery and decoration in Ancient Egypt and even served as the symbol for the Fourth Dynasty of the priesthood of the Egyptian pharaohs. It is also believed to have had a spiritual significance, as it was often associated with the gods Osiris, Sekhmet, Hathor and Taweret.
Malachite is a semi-transparent stone that is often polished to a high sheen. It has a “glassy” luster and appears chalky or velvety at times. It is often banded or concentrically marked, often with swirls, veining, and dendritic growths. Its main colour is a deep lush green, but it can also display bright blues, yellows, and browns. Its inclusions usually consist of white specks of pyrite, calcite, quartz, and other minerals. The streak of malachite is pale to bright green.
Malachite is chemically stable and does not alter under contact with most types of light or heat, so it is often used as a protective stone.

Malachite Properties:
Malachite is said to be a powerful emotional cleanser helping to remove past traumas, and negative emotions, to bring harmony into your life. Its use should be limited to small doses as its deep energetic cleansing may be uncomfortable for some.
Malachite is a powerful amplifying stone that amplifies both positive and negative energies. For this reason it is a stone to use only when you are feeling positive as it can increase negative feelings. Because Malachite absorbs negativity it should be cleansed after each healing session. A good way to do this is to place it on clear quartz in the sun; cleansing Malachite with water can wear away its surface.
In healing Malachite is believed to lower blood pressure and to help detoxify the liver. The copper content in Malachite is said to ease rheumatism and arthritis. Malachite is also said to ease cramps, including menstrual cramps and to facilitate childbirth. Please note Malachite dust is toxic and that Malachite should only be used in its polished form.
