Malachite is a fine stone belonging to the carbonate family. Its green color is due to the presence of copper clusters. It is a thick stone covered with fine colored vessels. Malachite is a soft stone, highly sensitive to carbon dioxide in water, as it melts easily.

WHERE DOES MALACHITE COME FROM?

A little etymology to start with: the name malachite comes from the Latin "malachites" meaning "through" and the ancient Greek "malakhé" meaning "mauve". The name was given because malachite resembles the mallow leaf.

Malachite is a thick stone covered with fine colored vessels, which makes it unique.

Malachite is found mainly in Australia, Latin America, Congo, Egypt, the United States, Israel and even France. Malachite was first harvested by the Egyptians in 4000 BC.

In lithotherapy, malachite is said to be highly effective against various types of pain. In fact, this stone acts like a sponge, absorbing joint or inflammatory pain when placed directly on the area in question.

Malachite also allows its owner to increase self-confidence and to be protected. It is synonymous with energy, joy, and positive vibes. Malachite is often used at the chakra level to restore balance in the soul. The Malachite Nuances Medal is therefore perfectly adapted.
