Malachite is a copper based mineral which occurs in the oxidised zones of copper deposits, often in combination with azurite and sometimes with chrysocolla. Most malachite is mined in Zaire, Namibia and Arizona.

Malachite is a green mineral that is believed to have many healing properties:

Emotional healing: Malachite is said to have a powerful healing effect on emotions. It is believed to help surface buried emotional traumas, pain, grief and / or negative patterns, replacing them with lightness, emotional balance and stability. The best form for this expression is to choose the stones with the bulls-eye patterns.

Protection: Malachite is believed to offer protection against negative energy, radiation, and electromagnetic pollution. It is said to help absorb negative energies from the environment and promote a sense of calm and peace.

Physical healing: Malachite is thought to have a number of physical healing properties, including pain relief, detoxification, and immune system support. It is said to help alleviate symptoms of arthritis, asthma, and other respiratory issues. It can be held over the pain but not over an open wound.
