About malachite
Malachite is a copper mineral with striking swirling bands. It was ground into green eye paint in Ancient Egypt. In crystal practice it is a stone of change and protection.
How to use it
Use polished pieces only, and display it rather than carrying it loose.
Care & cleansing
Polished pieces are safe to handle; wash hands after. Never use raw malachite in water or make elixirs with it, as its dust contains copper.
