Mythology

The name derives from the Greek malake, meaning "mallow," as it resembles the color of the plant's leaves.

Malachite is one of the minerals most frequently mentioned in myths and legends. It was considered the stone of paradise and represented sensuality, beauty, curiosity, aesthetic sense, and musical arts. It has always been a symbol of the feminine figure and in all cultures it has been dedicated to some goddess: in Egypt, Hathor; in Greece, Aphrodite; among the Celts in Europe, Freya.

In the Middle Ages, it was believed that it could relieve menstrual problems and facilitate childbirth, and was therefore known as the "midwives' stone."

It was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans to prevent injuries: in fact, according to tradition, it breaks to warn the wearer of imminent danger.

Effect on the body

Malachite is excellent as an antispasmodic and calming agent. It relaxes the nervous system, alleviates insomnia and depression. Useful in cases of menstrual pain and during childbirth.

It can help treat infections of the genital organs and sexual health problems. It has a detoxifying action by stimulating liver function and promotes nervous and brain activity.

It has the property of absorbing pain and swelling, especially when combined with amethyst. It strengthens the heart and circulatory system, and is particularly indicated for those who suffer from capillary fragility. Due to its high copper content, it complements the action of iron in the production of red blood cells and stimulates the regeneration of blood and tissues.
