Typically it is found as crystalline aggregates or crusts, often banded in appearance, like agates. It is also often found as botryoidal clusters of radiating crystals, and as mammillary aggregates as well.  Named in antiquity by Pliny the Elder 79 CE as molochitus after the Greek ”mallows” in allusion to the green colour of the leaves.  Known in the new spelling, malachites, at least by 1661.  Malachite is a green and common secondary copper mineral with widely variable habit.  Frequently found as a pseudomorph after Azurite crystals, which are generally more tabular in shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Malachite may come from the Greek word malakee, or malache, signifying the resemblance of Mallow leaves, or from the Greek word malakos, meaning soft. Being a carbonate of copper, Malachite is sometimes intergrown with Azurite, forming Malachite-Azurite, or with Chrysocolla, forming Malachite-Chrysocolla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell known to ancient Egyptians, Malachite mines were in use between the Suez and Sinai as early as 4000 B.C. It was also popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans, for jewellery, ornaments, and in powdered form, for eye shadow. In the Middle Ages, Malachite was believed to protect against the \"Evil Eye\" and to cure various stomach ailments. Russian czars used Malachite for ornaments and paneling for their castles, and intricate inlay work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalachite is the essence of joy and is known as the \"stone of transformation\" because it helps reveal and heal emotional pain by absorbing the pain into itself. Malachite helps bring awareness to that which no longer serves you. Take a hard look at your life - everything from your romantic involvements to your professional endeavours. Malachite can help you pinpoint the areas of your life that are ripe for transformation and then guide you toward transforming them. It is especially helpful in bringing ease during times of change and gives the insight needed for personal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalachite is a protection stone, absorbing negative energies and pollutants from the atmosphere and from the body. It guards against radiation of all kinds, clears electromagnetic pollution and heals earth energies. Keep near microwaves in the kitchen and televisions in living areas. In the workplace Malachite protects against noise, over-bright fluorescent lighting, and harmful rays from technological equipment, negative phone calls and emails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalachite, with its beautiful, rich green colour, leaves no doubt of its importance as a jewel. Its opaque strength and power demands respect, mesmerizing the viewer. Yet the movement, flow and energy in its lines, circles and designs soothe and welcome. It is spiritually inviting. Just like the old saying goes, the Malachite reminds us to turn over a new leaf. If you're drawn to the vibrant Malachite stone, it could mean that it’s time for a change\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalachite personifies the deep healing green of nature and represents the innate beauty of flowers, trees, roots and plants. It manifests a deep Devic green which rules the material plane. It is a Stone of Transformation, assisting one in changing situations and providing for spiritual growth. It heals on physical and emotional levels, drawing out impurities and stimulating the Life Force throughout the aura and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz, pure silicon dioxide, is also called Rock Crystal or Ice Crystal, from the Greek word “krystallos”, meaning “ice”, because crystal was believed to be water frozen so hard it could never thaw. For all its variety, when most people speak of “crystals”, they are usually referring to Rock Crystal (Clear Quartz), the six-sided prisms of pure light and energy known as the Perfect Jewel. In its sparkling light is contained the entire colour spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResonating at the level of an individual’s needs, Clear Quartz also amplifies whatever energy or intent is programmed into it, and continues to broadcast that energy throughout the world and into the etheric realms. This may accelerate the fulfilment of one’s prayers, intensify healing or spiritual growth, or simply allow the crystal to hold a pattern of energy long enough and strongly enough for the manifestation of a goal to occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz encourages clarity of thought and purpose to one’s heart and mind. It works on all levels of the energetic and physical bodies and resonates with all chakras. Clear Quartz will amplify any energy with which it moves into resonance, including other stones, constantly broadcasting that energy into the Earths electromagnetic field. This makes Clear Quartz an excellent stone to use for healing, manifestation or prayer work. Clear Quartz helps to establish a strong, clear connection to higher guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz has been used as a healing tool since the Ancient times. In Shamanic practises Clear Quartz is referred to as the “light-stone”, an instrument of clairvoyance. Clear Quartz was traditionally used by Australian Aborigines and the Prairie Indians of North America as a talisman for visionary work. The Navajo believed it to be Clear Quartz that first caused the Sun to cast its light upon the world. The six sided hexagonal shape of Quartz crystal points allow them to hold a programme or intention, to magnify that energy and radiate it out into the surrounding area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Quartz is excellent for amplifying the energies of other stones or to enhance groups of stones, and is ideal for gridding. It is the perfect base material for wands, staffs, templates, etc., and clear crystal spheres have long been used for crystal gazing. Because Clear Quartz has the prismatic ability to vibrate its energy at all of the colour frequencies, it not only harmonises all of the chakras, but can teach us how to vibrate our seven chakra centres simultaneously while maintaining perfect alignment with the light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49616687464725,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/c26961b6-il_fullxfull.7472071477_kn00.jpg?v=1765592451","url":"https:\/\/naturesgiftsbychris.com\/products\/24g-botryoidal-malachite-on-quartz-specimen-c","provider":"NaturesgiftsByChris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
