I am not well-versed in gemstones, but I am starting to learn. I got a chunk of malachite today.
Psychologically, Malachite is a stone of transformation. Life is lived more intensely under the influence of this adventurous stone, which encourages risk taking and change. It mercilessly shows what is blocking your spiritual growth. Malachite draws out deep feelings and psychosomatic causes, breaks unwanted ties and outworn patterns, and teaches how to take responsibility for one's actions, thoughts, and feelings. It releases inhibitions and encourages expressing feeling. This stone develops empathy with other people, showing how it would feel to be in their place. It alleviates shyness, and supports friendships. Malachite is useful for psycho-sexual problems, especially when these have been caused by traumatic past-life sexual experiences. [x]
I can't feel anything, but the mystic who lives in the house where I'm staying can see it working on me. I'm pretty dense, but maybe this particular stone can break through it. We'll see. At very least I have a pretty green rock.
