A patterned green decorative material
Malachite’s rich green tones and curved bands make it distinctive in jewelry and ornamental work. The cut or carving frames a particular section of the pattern, so a pendant, bead and figurine show it differently. Change and personal growth can be symbolic themes, not a claim that the mineral transforms the body or guarantees an outcome.

Personal symbolism
In contemporary crystal symbolism, malachite is associated with change and personal growth. These are personal or cultural associations. Someone may choose a piece as a reminder of those values, without expecting the material to produce a physical or emotional effect.
Before choosing a piece
Read the stated material, dimensions and construction of the actual item. Keep the care directions for its setting, cord or other components as well as the stone. Store finished pieces so that they do not strike one another, and choose a stable location for decorative objects.
Handling a finished piece
Follow the care instructions for the actual item. Do not grind decorative malachite or use it to prepare drinks, powders or body-care mixtures.
