- Malachite is a semi-precious gem that has been treasured through the ages. Russian Czars paneled whole rooms in it.
- Malachite was popular with ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Roman for jewelry, amulets, carvings and eye shadow! In the Middle Ages it was used as a pigment as well an amulet to protect children.
- The best specimens are cut and polished to reveal bands and rings in alternating shades of green from pale to near black.
- Today Zaire is the most prolific producer, but beads made there don’t have the uniformity of those cut and polished in China, Hong-Kong, or Germany.
- Malachite is a birthstone for Taurus and related to the heart chakra
- Metaphysical: Malachite protects from negative energies and assists in maintaining emotional balance, while avoiding taking on the emotional baggage of others.
- Care: avoid sharp knocks, acids, abrasion and steam/ultra-sound cleaners
