Malachite (Congo)

This crystal is listed as Malachite (Congo), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

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.

Find it at Namaste Bookshop, 2 West 14th Street, a short walk from Union Square in Manhattan, or order it online.
