Malachite is formed as a secondary product of the mineral copper, as the result of copper being altered by other chemicals. The large individual crystals are quite rare.

Malachite is a regenerative and a transformation crystal. The energy of malachite reminds us of the need to transform ill feelings, grief, and dark thoughts that might feel like they are poisoning us into light, bright and pure thoughts. In a way, it’s a bit like a recycling crystal, as it  releases negative experiences, even ones you may not be able to recall. It is also a crystal that promotes intuitive abilities and raises awareness of  spiritual knowledge and information.
