Of extraordinary energy, the malachite is a stone that is used for general rebalancing purposes, starting with rebalancing the physical body.

I often say that when in doubt about which stone to use for a physical ailment, we can use malachite, because besides helping to reestablish harmony and deal with pain, it deepens and brings to light the origins in more subtle fields, such as the emotional. Learn more.

Malachite: meaning

The word comes from Greek and derives from mauve or soft, for its appearance and also for its hardness, which on the stone scale is 3 to 4 Mohs.

Malachite is a basic copper carbonate that also contains chromium, calcium and zincose and forms in areas of surface oxidation in deposits of the mineral.

It is important to know that copper is also found in the human body, in the blood, liver, brain, heart, and kidneys, and is important for various functions in the body, such as energy production, red blood cell formation, and bone formation.

In addition, copper is also an antioxidant, which helps protect cells from possible damage, preventing premature aging and even the onset of serious diseases.

Malachite Stone: Properties and Benefits

It has the quality of bringing from the inside out the energy that needs to be worked on, and can be placed over any painful area to work on the energy density of the pain and bring up the emotional causes.

It works to reveal the deepest fears about change and growth, and assists in recognizing and utilizing individual powers. It is therefore a stone for working on abundance, prosperity, and the manifestation of our desires.

It works with the wounds and faults and also with the projections of the masculine, that is, with what we expected from the important male figure in our lives.

It has the quality of absorbing energy.

Placed over the solar plexus chakra and the heart chakra, it releases tension from the abdomen and restores deep, full breathing.

It helps the energetic functioning of the stomach meridian, as well as the lung meridian. It helps to restore health in general (symbology of regeneration, renewal). It is related to the balancing movement. Its healing energy is extraordinary, serving for practically all healing purposes.

Malachite: How to identify the stone

A malachite is a very easy stone to recognize, because its shades of green and peculiar pattern make it unique. They are easy to find at an average value. As with all stones and crystals, I advise you to look in stores and mining companies with references. The formats found are rough, rolled, and cut.

When blue malachite is mentioned, the blue part is actually another stone, azurite. However, since the formation of both is copper carbonate, they are very easily found in the same place in nature.

Toxicity

Some people ask about the toxicity of malachite, since it appears in the toxicity table, so we need to dig deeper into the question. This toxicity table is separated into three factors:

1. normal handling and use;
2. cutting or handling for jewelry;
3. ingestion.

Malachite is classified as toxic because it reacts when in contact with acids, which means it is NOT to be put in the mouth or in contact with body mucous membranes, and of course, it is not to be ingested. For handling and use in contact with the skin, as in jewelry and accessories, there is no risk, whether raw, rolled or cut malachite.

Sign Stone

Many people look for stones tied to a sign, but the truth is that this disregards a person's entire momentum, the states they are in, and challenges they face.

Even astrologically we are not only our solar aspect, we are a celestial whole, with the solar aspect, the ascendant, the moon, and more. That is why I recommend below a way to use malachite.

Malachite: use in meditation and daily life

I recommend its use in personal accessories, such as pendants and bracelets, and even more to be used in meditation, in order to help the energy that needs to be worked on and to balance some characteristic that you perceive you need.

So I suggest you meditate with the stone in your hand and ask yourself what is your priority. It is also important to tune into the frequency of the stone you have chosen. Carry it with you in your pocket or purse, in jewelry or accessories, so it works as a reminder of this meditation and tuning, and helps you resonate in your life the tuned frequency.
