Malachite

Malachite doesn't console. It excavates. That's not comfortable, and it's not meant to be — but what it uncovers is always something you were already carrying. It just makes it possible to finally put down.

Ideal Placement

The heart centre during meditation — placed on the chest, it works directly with whatever is held there. On a windowsill in a room where emotional work happens: a therapy space, a bedroom during a difficult period. Not recommended as a constant companion; malachite is considered by many practitioners to be an amplifier of whatever is present — useful during intentional work, potentially destabilising as background noise.
