Malachite: This stone's name may be derived from the Greek malakos,
"soft", referring to its hardness, or from malache, "mallow",
referring to its color. Malachite is a copper carbonate with a hardness
of 3.5 to 4 & can exhibit bright green banding.
Mystic Lore:
Intuitive sources say Malachite can provide protection from karmic danger
and release from fear. It is said to offer the user the opportunity to resolve
the inner tensions that bring about repeating patterns of difficulty, and
to nourish the heart chakra. |
