Description

Malachite slices are the kind of crystals that grab you before you’ve even picked them up, thanks to its unique markings and colours, and these two slices do exactly that!

What I loved most when I unwrapped these two was how individual each one is, and how each one made me feel the moment I saw them. The lines on slice one sweep from edge to edge, and I found following those lines instantly calming, while slice two is full of rings that pull your eye round and round until you completely forget what you were meant to be doing.

The patterns themselves are always the bit that gets me when it comes to Malachite. Deep underground, copper rich water seeps through the rock and leaves a whisper of green behind, layer upon patient layer, over more time than I can sensibly imagine. Every band and every ring on these slices marks one of those moments, which means these patterns were being painted in total darkness long before anyone existed to look at them, and the day each slice was cut was the very first time light ever touched what was inside.

Ask anyone what Malachite is for and they’ll mostly say transformation, and protection. This is the stone people reach for when life is rearranging itself or throwing some curveballs, and its protective streak goes back so far that centuries ago parents hung little pieces above their children’s beds to keep bad dreams and mischief away. It’s also known for lending a bit of courage when you need it most, which makes sense really, because big changes and needing some nerve tend to show up hand in hand, and women have known for centuries just how much this stone holds.

It has a long connection with the heart too, and is known for bringing old feelings up to the surface, the ones we’ve buried and quietly hoped would sort themselves out, so they can finally shift instead of sitting there taking up room. It’s why people often describe Malachite as a stone that gets things moving, and why it has a reputation for being one of the more powerful ones to work with.

But for me, its strongest power is when I’m feeling anxious. Those lines and ripples catch my racing thoughts and slow them right down, one band at a time, and no book ever told me to expect that. And that’s one of my favourite things about Malachite and crystals in general – they don’t always play by the rule book. Malachite is as unique as you are, and its energy is, too. So if you find that it’s stronger for your anxiety, or if you find it helps you with your sleep, or something else entirely, then embrace it, because it’s meeting you where you are in life, not what a textbook says it needs to do.

The photographs show the exact slices you can pick from, so the piece that’s been catching your eye all the way down this page is the very one that will arrive at your door. And that matters more than usual with Malachite, because those bands and rings grew exactly once in the entire history of the earth. There is no other slice one. There is no other slice two. Whichever one has been quietly choosing you while you read, that’s the only one of it there will ever be. Each slice arrives wrapped and ready in a gift box, whether it’s a treat for your own collection or on its way to someone who needs a bit of courage, calm or change in her corner right now.
