Malachite (Zaire)

Banded Green Malachite pieces are hand polished, not tumbled. Mostly smooth with the occasional rough area. Each piece averages 3/4".

According to The Gemstone Healing Guide, A Healing Apothecary, Malachite is often used to attract Abundance, heal the Heart and teach forgiveness.

However, it is used most often in healing applications for such issues as Arthritis/Bursitis, detoxification, strengthening the immune system and preventing infection/fighting infection.

Malachite works with lung issues such as Asthma, Emphysema and Bronchitis. It helps to ease the symptoms of Vertigo and has been used to ease the Birthing process.

It has been used in conjunction with other crystals to aid in the treatment of Cancer and ease the effects of Radiation.

Note: However, I do want to share a caution here-I feel that Malachite should not be used in the treatment of tumors. It is my feeling (and others that I have studied) that because Malachite is green, and green represents "growth" that Malachite would in fact grow the tumor instead of helping to heal it.

Of course, I have always said, there is NO one right way or wrong way, so if you feel strongly that Malachite could help in a situation like this, then I urge you to follow your own judgment/intuition. No one will know better than you.:)
