Malachite is a Copper Carbonate Hydroxide.
Malachite is used as a talisman for children to ward off danger and illness. Simply hang a piece from the child’s cradle or bed.
Known as a stone of transformation, it is said to assist when one is experiencing change as it aids in the transfer of sacred knowledge required for spiritual growth.
Though it has a clearing effect on all chakras, it particularly stimulates the throat and heart chakras and may help to open the third eye.
A very practical stone, malachite helps one to achieve balance and be reasonable. It helps one to recognize and release negative experiences that may exist in the subconscious and thus clears the way for accepting responsibility for ones own thoughts and actions, enabling one to “move on”.
