Malachite is a powerful stone – and should be handled with respect and care. It is said to ramp up both positive and negative energies, but is particularly known as a protection stone. In crystal healing, it is thought to absorb spiritual and environmental nasties – so it is important to cleanse it before and after you use it. 

It’s a great stone for adventurers – said to help those with fear of flying, and also a stone to support taking appropriate risks and being open to change. 

It is said to shine a bright (sometimes harsh) light on the areas where we’re hiding, where we need to grow. It can bring into the light old wounds and traumas that are ready to heal.  It helps us get to the root of a problem, so we can see what we need to do to heal it.

You can see why cleansing it often might be a good idea!

In the non-polished form, it is important to be very careful to avoid breathing in its dust and if you are using it to make crystal water or crystal elixirs, it is important to use indirect methods (i.e. don’t put it in water that you plan to drink!).
