Meaning of Malachite
The most envy-inspiring gemstone around, malachite is known for its powers of transformation. Vividly green, this semi-precious wonder also symbolizes the deep healing of nature, and the spiritual growth that can come from time outdoors.
If you’re feeling in a rut, look at your life – from love to work, and everything in-between – with the help of malachite, pinpoint where you’re yearning for transformation, and use the gem to guide you towards real change.
A Little History Lesson
Thought to have been mined in Egypt as early as 4,000 BCE, malachite has been used for its extraordinary pigment in paintings and make-up, along with protective amulets.
In ancient Greece, it was believed that the meaning of malachite was connected to Venus, the goddess of love. The Victorians also loved this vibrant stone, crafting it proudly into their jewelry. We looked to them for inspiration.
