Malachite
Malachite is a powerful stone of transformation. This adventurous stone is said to encourage risk-taking and change, while mercilessly showing what blocks ones spiritual growth. It breaks unwanted and outworn habits, and teaches one how to take responsibility for their actions, thoughts and feelings. It is a powerful protection stone that amplifies both positive and negative energies. It is said to guard against radiation of all kinds, including plutonium and electro-magnetic pollution. Malachite has strong ties to devic forces.

Malachite may have been mined in Egypt as early as 4,000 BCE. Not only was it used as a gemstone and ornamental material, the stone was ground into pigments for painting and cosmetics. The green stone has been used in protective amulets since ancient times. Perhaps its greatest appreciators were the Russian royals of the 19th century. They had dining sets, huge sculptures, vases, and even paneling made from it.
