The malachite stone belongs to the carbonate mineral class: its characteristic color ranges from light green to dark green and the curved lines that create beautiful patterns inside make it not only a peculiar stone but above all fascinating for those who look at it for the first time.

Malachite is linked to a large number of legends, especially for its symbolic connection with female figures in various mythologies. In Egypt it was used to honor the goddess Hathor, in Europe Freya and in Greece Aphrodite; Greeks and Romans also made charms believing it would protect from injuries, while in the mine it was called “vegetable of the rocks” for its color.
