It is believed that malachite hasn’t shown the full extent of its true qualities and that it can become the most important healing stones of this millennium. It’s already considered as a strong protection stone. It absorbs negative energy and pollution from the atmosphere as well as from the body very easily. It’s strongly advised to cleanse this stone, preferably before and after usage. For example, place it in a sunny place to cleanse and recharge. Naturally, there are other methods of cleansing and recharging allowed, but it should be kept in mind that malachite must not be cleansed with salt as that damages the surface of the stone. Malachite protects from all kinds of radiation, including plutonium contamination. This stone should be in every house that’s located near nuclear and natural radiation sources. It dispels electromagnetic pollution and heals the Earth’s energies. Malachite has a strong pull toward the forces of the nature. Malachite opens up the heart to unconditional love, because it’s the stone of the heart chakra. Wearing this stone above the heart or nearby, it brings the equilibrium and harmony. This stone cleanses and activates the chakras, and tunes in to spiritual guidance. When placed on the third eye, it activates visualization and psychic vision.

It inspires risk-taking and changes, and promotes more intensive living. Malachite helps highlight internal blockages and deeper emotions, breaks unwanted connections and worn patterns, and teaches to take responsibility for your actions, thoughts and feelings. Sets free and encourages the expression of emotions. It also strengthens empathy for other people, and helps understand what it feels like to be in another person’s skin. Malachite reduces shyness and supports friendship. This stone is beneficial for psychosexual problems, especially if they stem from traumatizing past experiences.

When placed on the solar plexus, it makes more profound emotional healing easier. The stone balances the heart and navel chakra. Makes emotions more intensive, but, at the same time, volatile.

It alleviates all kinds of spasms, menstrual cramps, and makes giving birth easier—it has been called “the midwives’ stone”. It’s related to the female genitals, and treats every condition associated with them. Malachite lowers blood pressure, treats asthma, arthritis, epilepsy, fractures, swollen joints, seasickness, dizziness, and tumors. Supports the optic nerve, pancreas, spleen and parathyroid glands. Strengthens the immune system. Stimulates the liver to detoxify by reducing tissue acidose (acid intoxication). Pearl Main properties: intuition, imagination, protection, relaxation, wealth, psychic sensitivity Pearls are not minerals, like semi-precious gemstones, but they form inside of a shell when the mollusk living in it covers the irritant with calcium carbonate (the same substance from which the shell of the mollusk consists of) in self-defense, creating the mother of pearl that will cover the particle in many layers. In the duration of about ten years, it will become a pearl. Cultured and natural pearls can be distinguished from the copies in one simple test. Take a pearl and rub it (gently!) against the edge of a tooth. Because of the natural texture of the mother of pearl, cultured and natural pearls feel slightly rough, like thin-gritted sandpaper. Imitations, however, feel as smooth as glass, because their surface has been carved or painted onto an even bead. Even though pearls are not minerals, they still have their own healing properties. Pearl encourages relaxation as it lessens tensions and stress. Enhances intuition, psychic sensitivity, and imagination. By holding a pearl in your hand, you can attract wealth, protect yourself from negative influence, and transform negative energy into positive. Pearl is also useful in protecting children just like a mother protects hers—that’s where the term mother of pearl comes from. Similarly to a mother’s love, these precious stones may purify our surrounding environment and heal memories and the heart.
