Malachite is a beautiful Irish green stone, often with lines, bands, or eyelets wrapping around it. It can range from a light green to a very dark green.
It is believed to increase energy or magnify whatever energy you’re already experiencing, so care should be taken in using malachite when you’re in a foul or otherwise unfavorable mood since it will magnify these feelings.
Malachite also has extensive healing properties in it, though some caution to protect oneself should be taken by healers using it, since it can magnify energy. It has a special affinity for aiding in the healing of eye and blood issues, having a special resonance with copper.
Malachite is often given to children to help them sleep well and keep away nightmares and attached to a babies crib, it is believed to keep negative energy away, thus helping the infant sleep better through the night.
I highly suggest pairing a piece of malachite with a programmed quartz crystal to better focus your intentions and prevent some of the ‘side effects’ of using this stone – that way you can use this stone for healing without worrying about the magnification of negative energy. Also beneficial is wearing the stone on the proper body part – for instance, rings on the right pointer fingers share their energy in directed actions.
