Malachite 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.
SOURCING INFO:
I have only found one family that has documented ethical practices for these African minerals. They focus on going directly to remote villages and creating a relationships in sourcing crystals. they are paid fairly. They prioritize working with all women owned mines. And most importantly, there is NO CHILD LABOR! I meet them each year at a wholesale show to catch up and hand select their beautiful malachite + cobaltoan calcite
