✨ Crystal of the Week: Malachite - Complete Transformation✨
Malachite is a crystal that has a unique and rich history. Its distinct green hues are instantly recognisable with the beautiful banding of dark and light green. Ancient Civilisations such as the Egyptians highly valued Malachite for both its aesthetic appeal and metaphysical properties. It was used a lot in Egyptian jewellery and amulets and was even ground into powder and used in eyeshadow and paint.

Malachite is a highly protective crystal, most notably known for its power of transformation. But it is also a very powerful tool when it comes to your relationships, both romantic and platonic. It encourages you to truly be yourself.
Malachite’s Physical Properties
Malachite is possibly the earliest ore of copper, it has been mined from as early as 3000BC. It is a green copper carbonate hydroxide, its name coming from the Greek for ‘mallow’, giving reference to its green leafy colour.

It is a softer crystal, rating a 3.5-4 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
