Transformation, Confidence, Protection

Malachite is a green copper carbonate mineral that is known for its beautiful patterns and transformative healing properties. It is associated with growth, protection, and prosperity. Malachite is linked to the heart chakra and is said to help balance emotions, ease depression and anxiety, and release negative experiences. It is considered a stone of transformation that helps one overcome fears and break unwanted ties to outworn patterns. Malachite is connected to several goddesses, including Hathor, Isis, and Persephone. Although it is not a traditional birthstone, malachite is considered a natural birthstone for those born in mid-spring.
