Malachite, with its beautiful, rich green color, leaves no doubt of its importance as a jewel.
Its opaque strength and power demands respect, mesmerizing the viewer.
Yet the movement, flow and energy in its lines, circles and designs soothe and welcome.
It is spiritually inviting.
Malachite personifies the deep healing green of nature and represents the innate beauty of flowers,
trees, roots and plants. It manifests a deep Devic green which rules the material plane. [Raphaell, 144] It is a Stone of Transformation,
assisting one in changing situations and providing for spiritual growth.
[Melody, 395] It heals on physical and emotional levels, drawing out impurities and stimulating the Life Force throughout the aura and body.
[Ahsian, 248]
The name Malachite may come from the Greek word malakee, or malache,
signifying the resemblance of Mallow leaves, or from the Greek word malakos, meaning soft.
[Fernie, 167][Simmons, 247] Being a carbonate of copper,
Malachite is sometimes intergrown with Azurite, forming Malachite-Azurite,
or with Chrysocolla, forming Malachite-Chrysocolla. [Simmons, 247]
The dimensions are 4.6 x 2.7 cm
