Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral belonging to the carbonate class of minerals. Malachite is formed through a secondary process in the oxidation zone of copper ore deposits. Malachite is a banded light and dark green crystal with a dull and silky lustre. Its crystal habit is in massive forms that are botryoidal, stalactitic or globular. The crystals are fibrous and are frequently found as pseudomorphs of azurite. Malachite can be found in the Congo, Namibia, Russia, Mexico, Australia, England and the USA Malachite is an important protection stone. It absorbs negative energies and pollutants. It should be cleaned regularly by placing on a clear quartz cluster and placed in the sun. Malachite guards against radiation of all kinds. It should be placed in the home of anyone who lives near a nuclear or natural radiation source. It also clears electromagnetic pollution and heals earth energies.
Malachite is a famous and very popular semi-precious stone. It is named for the Greek word for "mallow", a green herb. Its banded light and dark green designs are one-of-a-kind, and give it a unique ornamental quality unlike that of any other stone. The light and dark green bands are so distinctive that malachite maybe one of the most easily recognised minerals by the general public. Malachite was known in Egypt as early as 3000 B.C. It was also popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans, for jewellery, ornaments and, in powdered form, for eye shadow. In the Middle Ages, Malachite was believed to protect against the evil eye and to cure various types of stomach ailments. The Russian Czars used malachite from the large deposit in the Ural mountains to produce ornaments and paneling for their castles, as well as intricate inlay work

MALACHITE and the mind
Malachite strengthens the understanding of concepts. We are in a position to absorb information more quickly as the imagination makes us strong and aware of how to handle it. Thoughts flow very fast and decisions are made without having to think a great deal. Malachite fortifies the capacity to observe, even tiny things are perceived much more rapidly and their meaning is recognised. This also increases the ability to criticise and and confront and the willingness to do so. Malachite can help you get clear when you have many thoughts going round and round in your head. If you are experiencing repetitive thoughts you are unable to release, use this stone to realign your mind with your heart, and use your heart as your centre of thought.

MALACHITE AFFIRMATION I focus on my heart centre. I treasure the lessons I learn in relationships. I find balance within. I feel love for myself and all beings. Love swirls into my life. I recognise repetitive patterns. I choose patterns of love, compassion and kindness.
The chakras are the body's internal energy centres, and are aligned vertically near the spine. Energy enters the body through the head (heaven) and the base (earth). The seven chakras are vortex points where these forces mingle, with each producing a distinctive energy pattern. The purpose of these chakras is to absorb, transform and distribute the body's internal energy, known by terms such as prana, life force or chi. Specific organs and body parts are associated with each chakra, as well as corresponding behavioural, emotional and personality patterns. It is important to note that the chakras are in constant interplay, and cannot really be separated.
There have two extra chakras discovered recently; the Earth Star Chakra and the Soul Star Chakra, I have included a brief description of these in the page.
Human beings are not just the physical body. You have seven auric bodies. These seven unseen bodies are known as energy bodies, energy layers or auras. The seven non physical bodies aren't separate from the physical body, they are all interconnected with each other. The health of any of these bodies contributes toward the overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of a person.
These energy bodies are affected by all aspects of your lifestyle. The energy that feeds them comes from outside and inside. Everything in your life influences these bodies. The health of these energy bodies depends on the amount and quality of prana or chi flowing through them which is generated in the Kundalini Line and Chakras.
When any one of the auric bodies is not working properly, it affects the other bodies and the physical body, as each body relies on the others to gather and distribute energy. read more
