Malachite is a copper carbonate mineral with a hardness of 3.5 to 4. Most Malachite seen on the market is cut from botryoidal masses with fibrous banding of lighter and darker shades of vivid green. Malachite may occur, rarely, in crystal form, and the crystals are usually long prismatic to needle-shaped. It can also take stalactitic form or occur as a crust. Its name may be derived from the Greek word for its color, malache (mallow), or because of its low hardness, from the Greek malakos (soft). Malachite sometimes occurs intergrown with Azurite, forming Malachite-Azurite, or with Chrysocolla, forming Malachite-Chrysocolla. The now-rare Eliat stone from Israel is a combination of Malachite, Chrysocolla and Turquoise.

Malachite was known in Egypt as early as 3000 b.c. It was also popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans, for jewelry, ornaments and, in powdered form, for eye shadow. In the Middle Ages, Malachite was believed to protect against the evil eye and to cure various types of stomach ailments.
The Russian czars used Malachite from the large deposit in the Urals to produce ornaments and paneling for their castles, as well as intricate inlay work. Today, the most important Malachite source is Zaire. Other Malachite deposits are in Australia, Chile, South Africa and the usa.

It permeates the auric field with positive vibrations and strengthens the natural energetic ‘shell’ which can screen out hostile forces. It activates the psychic ‘radar’ via which one ‘feels’ the presence of danger. It offers a ‘cloak of invisibility’ which can keep one from being noticed by those who might pose a threat to one’s emotional or physical well-being. It even accentuates the vibrational equivalent of ‘luck,’ in which synchronicities seem to conspire to keep one safe and protected.
Malachite emanates the healthiest energy pattern for the heart. It benefits both the emotional heart and the pump itself through its harmonization of the heart chakra. It assists one in maintaining emotional balance, in which one remains in a positive, benevolent state but is not tempted to take on the emotional baggage of others. It also offers an enhanced ability to see where one’s own emotional traps and pitfalls lie, and to avoid them.
The solar-plexus chakra is also stimulated by Malachite, and in this case there is an enhancement of willpower. In the presence of Malachite, it is easier to refuse all sorts of temptations, from ice cream to infidelity, and in so doing, to realize one is also serving one’s own highest good. Malachite instills confidence and self-responsibility and is useful in making spiritual progress through right action in the world.
Malachite harmonizes with Tiger Eye for physical energy and protection, and with Morganite for balancing the heart chakra. It also works easily with other copper-based minerals such as Azurite, Turquoise, Shattuckite, Chrysocolla and Ajoite.
