The malachite stone belongs to the carbonate mineral class: its characteristic color ranging from light to dark green and the curved lines that create beautiful internal designs make it not only a particular stone but especially fascinating for those who see it for the first time.

Malachite is connected to a large number of legends, especially due to its symbolic link with female figures in various mythologies. In Egypt it was used to honor the goddess Hathor, in Europe Freya and in Greece Aphrodite; moreover Greeks and Romans made amulets from it, believing it protected against injuries, while in mines it was called the "vegetable of rocks" for its color.

Currently the attributed properties are many, primarily in crystal therapy.

It is indeed believed that the stone can bring benefits to the body; it is used to relieve menstrual cycle disorders and labor pains, thus it can be a beautiful gift for a pregnant woman. It also lowers blood pressure, gives energy after the body has overcome a harsh illness, and it is said to be useful for the respiratory system in general.

Benefits for the mind: strengthens will, helps to rid oneself of negative energies and frustrations, and to focus on achieving the set goals with greater awareness.
