Malachite Specimen (#8)

Polished Malachite Specimen Weight: 177.4 grams Approx. Dimensions: 3" x 1.625" x .5" Origin: Congo "Malachite amplifies both positive and negative energy. It should be cleansed before and after use.The best way to cleanse your Malachite is by placing it on a quartz cluster in the sun. Malachite is a stone of adventure and encourages risk-taking and change. It draws out deep feelings and breaks unwanted ties and outworn patterns. Mentally, Malachite goes to the core of the problem and enhances insight and intuition.  Malachite is said to guard against radiation and electromagnetic pollution and heals earth energies." Information on Malachite is directly from Judy Hall's Crystal Bible Please note: Malachite is a powerful healing stone, but one that needs to be handled with caution. Due to Malachite's high copper content it is considered toxic to breath in its dust (this can happen if the stone is left unpolished.) It is safest when in its polished form. I always suggest washing your hands after handling Malachite or other stones that are considered toxic, such as Bumblebee Jasper.
