About malachite

Gemstones like malachite, which are stunningly beautiful yet common and inexpensive, always bring to mind the phrase “Disrespect” familiar to Rodney Dangerfield. Imagine for a moment that there are only a few copies left, think how we would sing its praises, and want to own one of them. However, despite its availability, malachite has much to recommend it to gem lovers or anyone simply interested in the wonders of nature.
Our ancestors valued the dramatic colors of this mineral not only for use as a decorative material and gemstone, but also as a base in cosmetics (eye shadow). Unfortunately, while the results could be beautiful, they were also hazardous to health: the copper content of the dust released when grinding this stone makes it toxic to breathe. (Today, workers mining and processing malachite are advised to wear protective respirators and keep dust to a minimum by keeping the rough moist.)
There is evidence that malachite was mined in Egypt as early as 4000 BC. E. Previously, it was ground and used as a pigment for paints. It was only after the Industrial Revolution that synthetic pigments were created that could compete with the green shades produced in this way. Those who restore and preserve old paintings still use a formula based on old malachite for authenticity.
There is disagreement in the mineralogical literature regarding the origin of this name. Most authors agree that the word comes from Greek, but there is a division between those who prefer malakos, meaning soft, and those who suggest malakhe, meaning green grass, mallow, a reference to color.
Invariably associated with copper ore deposits (and itself considered one of the minor copper ores, with a copper content of 58%), malachite extraction is usually carried out, at least on a large scale, as a by-product of copper mining.

This bright green gemstone gets its color from the copper in its chemical formula and its beautiful swirls and concentric patterns from the way it was shaped. The main mode of formation is by precipitation from solution, rather than by crystallization of molten rock or condensation of vapor.
Technically, malachite is called a “secondary” mineral, meaning that it is created through a chemical reaction between already formed minerals rather than a simple one-step process. When waters containing carbon dioxide or dissolved carbonate minerals react with pre-existing copper-bearing rocks, or alternatively, when solutions containing dissolved copper minerals react with carbonate rocks, malachite can form. Most often it is found in a “massive” form as a microcrystalline aggregate, in the form of nondescript lumps or crusts on other rocks. The typical striped appearance reflects the waxing and waning of the amounts of solutions required to form, as well as the frequent changes in their chemical composition.
Most of the world’s supply of malachite comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), Namibia, Russia and the American Southwest.
Its softness makes it easy to shape and carve, but unlike many soft minerals it usually requires a good polish. With attributes like these, it’s no wonder they find so many decorative uses.
Perhaps the greatest connoisseurs of malachite of all time were the 19th century Russian royalty, who had dinnerware sets, huge sculptures, vases and even pieces of room paneling made from it. Link to a virtual tour of the famous “Malachite Room” of the Hermitage.
The Victorians were big fans of opaque gemstones, and malachite was one of their favorite stones, which they sometimes set in gold. However, for the most part today this gemstone is used in fine carvings, beads and cabochon gemstones, usually in silver. It is especially popular in both authentic Native American sterling examples and inexpensive imitations.
The beautiful colors and patterns, ease of processing and willingness to use fine material also attract modern lapidaries for use in inlays and inlays.
Mineral and gemstone collectors compete for the finest examples of malachite that demonstrate some of its rarer habits. Bothryoid masses, stalactites or sections cut from them are highly prized, as are specimens with splayed clusters of acicular (acicular) crystals showing a velvety hue.
Fortunately, along with malachite, these secondary deposits contain other copper-bearing minerals that are sometimes combined in the same samples. Along with the forest green of malachite, adding blue-green chrysocolla, deep blue azurite or brick-red cuprite can create stunningly beautiful rocks.

If ever the appearance of a gemstone reflected its power, it is Malachite. The deep green color, swirls of light and dark hues, circles that resemble all-seeing eyes, and the silky richness of polished stone always attract attention at the exhibition.

Malachite attracts not only its skin. This alluring appearance is supported by spiritual power, which is equal to almost any crystal.

Known as the Stone of Transfiguration, Malachite’s powers have been recognized and used for thousands of years, from the ancient Egyptians, where it was used in the crowns of the pharaohs, to the decorations of the palaces of the Russian Tsars.

Malachite Virtues

• Excess
• Good luck
• Self confidence
• Transformation

• spiritual growth
• Encourages healthy relationships
• Absorbs negative energy
• Stimulates dreams

Malachite color

Malachite is a green gemstone that represents new life, spring, nature, energy, rebirth, growth, fertility and the environment. Green is also associated with money, wealth and prosperity, although on the negative side it can also be associated with envy and jealousy.

Emotional and Spiritual Benefits of Malachite

The Stone of Transfiguration, Malachite, will help you cope with the difficulties and surprises that life can throw at you from time to time. He will take care of you and protect you when you feel most vulnerable and help you adapt to change and make those changes positive.

Sometimes change is not forced upon you, but instead you feel the need for it. Whether it is a change in lifestyle, relationships or circumstances that you desire, Malachite will be your best friend to encourage and support you.

Malachite will help you recognize the good people around you, as well as identify toxic relationships and give you the strength and confidence to remove these people from your life.

Malachite helps fight depression and anxiety. It can also help you overcome a number of phobias, including fear of flying and fear of heights.

Physical Benefits of Malachite

Another nickname for Malachite in addition to the Stone of Transformation is the “Midwife’s Stone.” For centuries, it has been a well-known remedy for ailments common to women: relieving labor pains, regulating menstruation, relieving menstrual cramps, increasing fertility, and calming emotions during PMS.

Some of the other attributes of Malachite include lowering blood pressure, joint pain, arthritis, rheumatism, myalgia and liver problems. It can strengthen the immune system and help with malaria, asthma and stomach problems.

Malachite and chakras

As a classic green gemstone, malachite is associated with the heart chakra in Hindu tantric philosophy. Chakras are energy centers located around the body that affect your physical and mental well-being.

If a particular chakra is out of alignment or blocked, there are various methods used to clear it, including the use of gemstones, usually based on the color of the gemstone corresponding to the color associated with the chakra.

Signs of a blocked heart chakra include feelings of jealousy, envy, anger, grief, attachment to old relationships, inability to enter into new relationships, and feelings of self-loathing. Physically, this can manifest itself in heart problems and allergies.

Can Malachite Unblock Chakras?

Introducing malachite into your life can help unblock or realign your heart chakra. The easiest way is to lie down with a malachite stone on your heart. Clear your mind, relax, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, and let Malachite do its work.

A malachite pendant, brooch or necklace can help unblock the heart chakra or keep it open throughout the day.

Is malachite a birthstone?

Malachite is not a traditional or official birthstone, but may be a natural birthstone for those born in the spring – March to May in the northern hemisphere, or September to November in the southern half of the world.

Malachite and Zodiac

Malachite is most associated with the zodiac sign of Taurus the Bull, but also has some similarities with those born under the signs of Cancer and Scorpio.

How to restore strength and purify malachite

Malachite is believed to absorb negative energy more than most gemstones, so it needs to be cleansed and recharged quite often. There are several ways to cleanse crystals using water, sun or moon, stains, salt or earth.

Malachite is a fairly soft gemstone, so rough or abrasive handling should be avoided – I would not recommend cleaning it with salt.

Run the malachite underwater, preferably in a clean natural stream, waterfall or spring, but tap water will do as it is completely safe for your gemstone and will be sufficient for quick cleansing. (It is possible that warm malachite placed in ice water could break, but this is very unlikely.)

A good way to clean your malachite is to smudge it, which means letting the smoke from an incense stick or dried herbs spread across the surface of your gemstone.

Placing malachite in the sun can purify and restore strength, although it may be safer to spend a night under the full moon as there is no danger of damage from the moon’s rays.

If your soil is not too acidic, a day or two of burying in the backyard can also restore your Malachite.

Where to place Malachite?

Malachite should be kept on the east side of your home to promote health and family joy and placed in the southeast corner of the home for prosperity.

As a gem of change, you can keep Malachite in any area that you are taking on a new project in or that has recently been transformed. A child’s bedroom is a scene of constant growth and development, and she will benefit from a careful placement of malachite.

In your office, the malachite gemstone can support your energy levels throughout a busy day.

How to use malachite

Malachite can be used to make some very interesting jewelry, although its softness means it will require protective settings and this is the best way to keep this gemstone with you throughout the day. A Malachite pendant or necklace is especially effective as it lies near the location of the heart chakra.

Alternatively, a malachite gemstone placed in a pocket or purse can be carried with you all day and used as a touchstone for encouragement when needed.

If you meditate, placing the Malachite gemstone in your palm will strengthen your connection with Gaia or Mother Earth. You can simply enjoy a simple meditation with malachite, or try a more complex method by saying out loud anything that is causing you anxiety or pain – Malachite can absorb that pain.

If you prefer, simply find a quiet place to lie down, placing the malachite gemstone in the middle of the chest and relax.

Malachite and wealth

Gemstones don’t magically make you rich (although green adventure lovers might argue that), but they do give you the power and confidence to make any or all of your wishes come true.

Malachite is a “Stone of Transformation” that will eliminate any doubts that may arise when making decisions related to money and finances.

Malachite gives you creativity, energy, positivity and self-confidence – all great benefits in your pursuit of wealth.

Can I use malachite for meditation?

Malachite symbolizes Gaia, Mother Earth, Mother Nature, whatever you want to call it, and meditation connects us to Mother Nature, so they make great bedfellows.

Hold a malachite gemstone in your hand or on your mat (even better on the grass outside) while you meditate and you will feel a strong and vibrant connection.

Can I wear or wear Malachite every day?

Malachite is a spiritually powerful gemstone, and we all react differently to its influence. If you feel any adverse reactions when wearing or wearing malachite gemstone, perhaps take a break and increase your exposure to it over a period of time.

At this point it would be good to point out the potential dangers of Malachite.

A polished, loose malachite gemstone used under normal conditions poses absolutely no risk to its owner. An unpolished “raw” or untreated piece of malachite may be a different matter, as if handled improperly, dust or powder can flake off the gemstone and become inhaled. It’s unlikely that there will be enough dust to be harmful, but be aware.

If you plan to cut, grind or polish your own rough malachite, then protective equipment and the right work area are essential.

Malachite goddesses

Malachite is associated with Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of women, motherhood, fertility and love. This goddess is of very ancient origin and is probably the basis of almost all subsequent female deities.

It is interesting to note that in ancient times, Hathor was the protector of miners.

Can I help my pet with Malachite?

If your pet has heart or liver problems, then malachite is great, but it is not my favorite gemstone to mix with pets.

Animals, especially dogs, may chew and chew on objects left under their beds or at their water bottles, so malachite, with its potentially toxic composition, should be kept out of reach.

I’ve never been too keen on the idea of ​​putting any gemstone in a pet’s water bowl unless it’s too big to swallow (then I’m all for it!), and leaving some malachite gemstones in the water for too long can be problematic .

Malachite elixir

I believe it is best NOT to use malachite in an elixir as the small chance of something going wrong outweighs the benefits. The chances of polished malachite poisoning the water are minimal, but why take the risk?

Malachite and dreams

Malachite is one of those gemstones that affects different people differently (doesn’t it?). For many, malachite promotes a restful and restful night’s sleep, while for others it induces vivid dreams.

In the Middle Ages, malachite was used in the bedroom to prevent nightmares.

These dreams are not necessarily disturbing, and Malachite will help you remember your dreams and perhaps help you interpret their meaning.

What gemstones go well with malachite?

Malachite can be a tricky gemstone when working with other crystals. Its power can enhance the spiritual powers of other gemstones, which will adversely affect the influence of Malachite itself.

At the same time, the thousand-year-old combination of malachite, lapis lazuli and onyx creates a very strong and effective team.

Other potentially good combinations of malachite include pairing it with red jasper and black tourmaline.

Is malachite good for yoga?

As a grounding and calming gemstone associated with Gaia or Mother Earth, Malachite can certainly be helpful when you do yoga, just as it can help in meditation.

Many malas, meditation garlands or rosaries are made of malachite (often combined with other gemstones) and are also used in yoga.

Malachite and workplace

Malachite is a transformational gemstone that instills self-confidence, luck and creativity, so there is no better gemstone in the workplace. Be careful because this may encourage you to take risky business decisions, but if they work out, luck and prosperity will come your way.

Malachite is also an excellent gemstone for absorbing electromagnetic radiation, so keep it near your power source or computer to protect you from EMFs.

Malachite pendulums

A pendulum is a simple tool for answering yes/no questions to and from the spirit world. Malachite’s strong energetic vibrations can focus a pendulum and cause it to move clearly and straight, giving specific answers to your questions.

Malachite and EMF

It is well known that malachite absorbs energy, especially plutonium energy and radiation. If your home or office has a lot of wires or a large Wi-Fi source, hang malachite in front of the area for protection.
