Malachite: Begin the Transformation

Malachite: Begin the Transformation

Malachite!  It is one of my favorite crystals to work with and to shop for!!  Malachite is instantly recognizable for its green-often deep green- color, with unique wavy or orbicular banding.  Natural malachite will have wave-like banding, with varying widths and colors.

Basic Properties

Malachite is a copper based mineral, that is actually pretty soft (3.5-4 on Moh's scale). It is easily recognizable by its deep green banding patterns.  The color can vary from quite light to a very deep green.  Malachite does not fade from exposure to light, but is easily damaged, chipped, scratched due to its softness.

Protection

Malachite is believed to help clear negative energies protect from electromagnetic frequencies.  Malachite can assist in removing toxic ideas, thoughts, interactions from the environment. It can also provide wisdom and insight to allow the user to spot emotional manipulation.

Malachite is also frequently used to help balance the chakras.  It is most closely aligned with the heart chakra. The heart chakra is associated with love, loving others, and loving yourself.   It can also affect the 3rd eye chakra, and can be useful in medication to obtain wisdom and information from spiritual guides.

Physical Healing Properties

Malachite has long been used as a stone to assist with menstrual cramps and other menstruation related symptoms.  Malachite's strong feminine energy and uses in child birth have earned it the nickname of "Midwife Stone".  In ancient times, malachite was used to help keep the blood pressure down. 

Malachite also offers a calming energy that can be helpful when you need to face a fear.  Malachite can be especially helpful in assisting with overcoming a fear of flying- and is believed to be good luck when traveling.  These calming energies may also help to calm the mood, and decrease mood swings.

One of the other phenomenal uses for Malachite is manifestation.  I love using Malachite when I manifest for a few reasons.  One reason is that Malachite is does such a great job of cleansing the environment.  Malachite also works with the heart chakra, and this can help to ensure that your manifestations are for the best overall good for yourself and others.
