Green crystal energy is used primarily to clear blockages in the heart chakra and re-balance the chakra after the release process. Some helpful stones even re-generate the heart, allowing you to feel and love and share again – the best one for this is the beautiful and extremely gentle aventurine.
But the very lovely malachite is just SO good to use because, if your heart needs healing, it not only clears the rubbish causing your distress, it also allows you to see why you created the rubbish in the first place. It takes you deep within your heart so you can start to understand your needs and your emotional responses to them. This can be a quite painful (or at least uncomfortable) process and it means you will have to be extremely honest while you are working with the stone otherwise there is no point. But if you let Malachite guide you through the whole release process, it will eventually help you find the best way to clear all the rubbish out of your heart, not to mention explore ways to stop re-generating the horrible energy once you have gone to the trouble of removing it! Malachite is a stone which just keeps on giving! I love it.
Although Malachite is green and is technically a heart chakra stone, it is a fabulous solar plexus stone because its key word is: WILL.
It stimulates the solar plexus and helps increase, self-confidence, self-esteem and, of course, strengthens your will power. It also helps you come to terms with the thing that makes lots of people uncomfortable – your personal power.
Malachite acts like a hoover on the solar plexus and, depending on what intention you set before you place it on the chakra – it will just keep pulling junk out of the chakra. However – a word of warning – it is relentless. It will just keep working until all the negative energy associated with your healing request is gone, so be sure you are ready for an intense session if you ask it to do this for you. Judy Hall calls this stone merciless and I’m inclined to agree with her! At the solar plexus, it facilitates deep emotional healing, releasing any negative experiences or old traumas it finds!
But Malachite is a huge asset if you want to change. It is called the stone of transformation and it can do this in so many different ways, it will probably make your head spin if you considered them all! All you need to do is be really sure you want to change – on all levels.
Malachite encourages change and emotional risk-taking and teaches you exactly how and why YOU are responsible for your own thoughts and actions…there is no blaming someone else if you work with this stone! And we are back to merciless and relentless all over again.
Malachite is not the stone to choose if you are not ready to take a long, hard look inside yourself, nuke all your junk and move on. When you work with it seriously, it will reveal the truth about yourself and bring to the surface all the things which are stuck in your unconscious mind. They will eventually pop up into the conscious mind and you will have to deal with them. It’s not always pretty, but it is always worthwhile! And when you use it in meditation, it will show you anything which is impeding spiritual growth.
And, as if that wasn’t enough, if you can use Malachite on the brow chakra, where it will stimulate visualization and inner vision and it is one of the stones which will also clear and activate all the other chakras.
One other gift Malachite has to give is – if you hold a stone in each hand, it will help you concentrate and bring balance to the mind, relieving that horrible feeling of being scattered and unfocused. Now that is really useful because I suspect most of us are experiencing that most of the time at the moment. I know I am!
The only thing left to say is – as Malachite is a better hoover than a turbo-charged Dyson, please always remember to clean it after you have used it. If it sucks up all your rubbish, the least you can do is get rid of it afterwards rather than leave it sitting in the stone. Let’s face it, you know how awful the energy feels since it’s been stuck inside you, so you know the stone certainly won’t like it if it is stuck inside the crystalline matrix!
And now the obligatory Health and safety warning 🙂
Always used tumbled Malachite.
If you touch raw Malachite, wash your hands as soon as you can and please don’t touch your eyes or mouth. The dust on the surface of raw Malachite is poisonous, but only in large doses. A little bit won’t kill you, but it can cause skin irritation… something which should be avoided!! But, rest assured, you are perfectly safe if it has been through the tumbling process. This also means that if you make an elixir, make it using the indirect method … stone in a small glass container inside a larger glass container holding the water.
Malachite is one of my very favourite stones… I hope it soon becomes one of yours!

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and
amusing, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy I came across this in my search for
something regarding this.
