Crystal Lore & Uses Lesson #5

By Jessica B. - Merry Meet! For todays lesson we will be working with Malachite, Lets begin.

Malachite is a very easily obtained crystal that is found in beautiful shades of green banding, circling, flowering...a variety of shapes. It is a powerful tool for healing but should always be handled carefully, wash hands afterwards, and tumbled form is safest. In it's raw form, especially when being cut, the dust is toxic.

This stone is special as it amplifies both types of energy, negative and positive while also taking lingering spiritual energies and grounding them to the Earth. Cleansing this stone, with sage or quartz, is recommended as malachite absorbs the negativie energies it magnifies. It also has the ability to cleanse the surrounding air and body of pollutants, particularly radiation grade ones such as plutonium. It has a strong relationship with nature, helps heal earth energies while clearing electromagnetic pollution. This symbiotic relationship is further evidenced in malachite being classified as corresponding to the earth element.

By clearing and activating the chakras, malachite attunes us to spirit and provides support when dealing with intentions, powers or issues pertaining to; the afterlife, astral realm, balance, communication, changes, dream work, divination, hope, love, guidance, healing, transformation, release, security, spirituality and strength . It is particularly effective in helping heal the heart, sacral and solar plexus chakras. Some like to use the patterns found on this stone during meditation or for scrying. Malachite has patterns that are easy to get lost in! From a psychological standpoint, malachite holds nothing back. It smashes through our self-doubt and the lies we tell ourselves. It forces us to really look at our emotional and mental health and confront what holds us back. On the other hand, it allows us to find a degree of freedom, or wildness, that we have tucked away...it is the best of all worlds!

When working with this crystal expect to rediscover yourself, get in touch with your feelings (good and bad), rebuild and move forward. This stone can help survivors of sexual abuse, helps with rebirthing or rebecoming what we once were. It can provide support in helping us be more observent of ourselves and other people and things. We find it easier to retain and understand the various concepts we are exposed to, particularly when the concepts are foreign or difficult. Due to the intensive effects malachite can have on some people more stones may be necessary in this journey work to provide support, love and healing.

While no crystal should take the place of a doctor, malachite can be used in conjunction with medical care in providing relief for all female reproductive issues or disorderes and has even been referred to as the midwive's stone. It can also help with blood pressure, asthma, arthritis, vertigo, inflammation of the joints, spleen illness, parathyroid, pancreas and boosts and rebuilds the immune system.

When worn around the waist it is supposed to help with diabetes and should be placed likewise on areas that are hurt or ill. An important note from Juday Hall, pg. 185; "Malachite may cause slight heart palpitations, in which case remove and replace with rose quartz or rhodonite". Just another good reason to use this stone partnered with others that help balance out it's properties. Bright Blessings!
