Malachite has been known since ancient Egypt, where it was ground to create Cleopatra's green eyeshadow — but it's also one of the stones that requires the most care. Paired with lapis lazuli and hematite, this trio combines three powerful energies: transformation, wisdom, grounding.

- Malachite: copper carbonate (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), banded green forming characteristic concentric circles. Hardness 3.5-4/10. Origins: DRC, Russia.
- Lapis Lazuli: deep blue metamorphic rock. Hardness 5-5.5/10. Origin: Afghanistan.

Honest note: these properties belong to lithotherapy tradition, not scientific proof.

⚠️ Important Precaution — Malachite and Water
Unlike most stones, malachite contains copper and should never be soaked or rinsed in water, especially if the stone has a crack: prolonged contact with water can potentially release particles best avoided in repeated contact with broken skin or ingestion. It's a stone to be worn as decorative jewelry with this precaution in mind, as most lithotherapists recommend.

FAQ
Why should malachite never be put in water?
It contains copper in carbonate form — in the event of a microscopic crack, prolonged contact with water can potentially release compounds best avoided in repeated skin contact.
Is this stone dangerous to wear daily?
No, in jewelry and normal use, the risk is minimal — the precaution mainly concerns prolonged immersion.
How can I spot a crack in my malachite stone?
Examine the surface in the light: a fine crack appears as a darker line. If in doubt, avoid any prolonged contact with water.
