Uses Natural Malachite Malachite: Meaning and Effects as a Power Stone As a power stone, malachite is an excellent stone for healing the mind and body. It cleanses both the mind and body of energetic toxins and stagnation. However, malachite absorbs energetic toxins, whether they are negative energies from the outside or energetic impurities within oneself. Therefore, it is especially recommended to cleanse it frequently when wearing it. Malachite also has a very strong power as a stone to ward off evil spirits, which is closely related to the eye-like patterns that appear on the polished surface of malachite, similar to the eye agate. Therefore, if you use malachite to ward off evil spirits, choose processed products with clear patterns. In addition, malachite is a stone that enhances the wearer's intuition and insight, preventing disasters and helping them make decisions that lead to a good future. Malachite: Stone Stories, Legends, and Folklore Malachite is called "Kujaku-seki" (peacock stone) in Japanese. The name comes from its beautiful green color and the patterns that resemble a peacock spreading its wings. It is a stone with many ancient traditions. In Europe, there are records of amulets being made to protect infants from danger and tied to baskets, and it was also used as a pigment. In Egypt, it is said that Cleopatra used malachite powder mixed with oil as eyeshadow, but in reality, malachite powder can easily cause skin irritation when applied to the skin and is quite irritating if it gets into the eyes, so this legend may be somewhat different from the truth. Malachite, which is easy to powder and has good color development, is also used as a pigment for rock paintings and as a colorant for fireworks.
