Physical Appearance

Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide, mineral that forms in unusual swirling green and black patterns.  It has a hardness level of 3 1/2 to 4 on the Mohs scale. This makes it excellent for jewelry because it is durable enough to be set into rings or necklaces without risk of being scratched or damaged over time.

Partnering Stones

Malachite is generally found in isolated chunks in nature, as it is not commonly found in crystalized form. It is often found joined with Azzurite, Chrysocolla, or Turquoise, making for some of nature's most fascinating natural specimens.

Historical Uses

Malachite dates back to various early cultures (as far back as 3000 B.C.). In ancient Egypt it was used in jewelry and ornaments, in China where it was one of the earlier forms of green pigmentation for illustrations and paintings, and also for medicinal purposes for stomach ailments in the Middle Ages.

Powerful healing properties have long been recognized as one of the benefits of Malachite, used by healers and shamans throughout history. It is believed to help clear away any negative energies that may be present in your aura or energy field, allowing you to open yourself up to the higher powers of love, joy, and peace. Additionally, it helps amplify your natural healing abilities so that you can start to heal from within. Malachite can also help increase self-confidence by releasing feelings such as fear, doubt or insecurity which are often associated with low self-esteem. Finally, wearing malachite provides strong protection from outside influences or negative energies that could potentially cause harm to your wellbeing.

Malachite is particularly helpful for those looking to clear away any overwhelming emotions such as sadness, fear or anger. When used correctly, the stone can open up energetic pathways to one's higher self providing protection from negative influences and allowing clarity into our innermost thoughts and desires. In addition to its protective qualities, malachite can also help boost physical and mental health when used in meditative practices. The stone has been linked to improved circulation, relief from pain associated with arthritis or fibromyalgia, lower blood pressure levels, and improved digestion - all which aid in increasing overall wellbeing.

A guardian of the heart, a healer of broken bones and blood pressure, and a protector from the toxic flow of negative energy, malachite does an amazing job in encouraging you to let go of old traumas and patterns and to step outside your comfort zone. As such, this is the perfect stone for anyone stepping into the unknown, looking to start over, or going through any upcoming transitions (starting a new job, moving house/relocating, etc.).

The vibrant green color of Malachite crystals stimulates feelings of hope and harmony throughout the body, making it an ideal crystal for those looking to empower themselves. 

For those seeking to increase their self-confidence through malachite use it is essential to prepare oneself both mentally and physically before any meditation sessions with the stone begin - dim lighting with candles or incense burning helps create a peaceful atmosphere conducive to relaxation whilst holding onto the stone may create feelings of hope and harmony throughout the body.
