Malachite (Congo)

Malachite (Congo) is a crystal (shop SKU AIMAL110) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Malachite is a copper carbonate mineral with banded green patterns, often polished for jewelry and small carvings. In crystal traditions, malachite is associated with transformation and protection. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Congo.
