Tips for Choosing
Quality Guide
Only the finest quality, pure gems yield the therapeutic results we expect from gemstone energy medicine. The higher a gem’s quality, the more therapeutically powerful it is. As a gem rises in quality, its therapeutic potency often increases far more than its price. Going up even one level of quality can deliver many times more therapeutic power.
Gemstone Size
Next to quality, the most important factor in determining a gemstone’s therapeutic power is mass. Quality being equal, larger gems are more potent than smaller ones. If your neck is sensitive to weight, consider wearing somewhat smaller gems. Children usually require shorter necklaces and smaller gems.

Malachite promotes harmony and improves communication throughout your physical body. Its soothing energy moves down and up the inside of your body in rhythmic waves, alerting your body to its own disharmonies and healing ever more deeply-seated areas of distress. As more of these areas are restored to health, the strength of Malachite’s flow increases.
Physical disharmony can occur when parts of the body do not know what other parts are doing. If your body has no awareness that some of its parts are not working well together or that disharmony is brewing, it cannot call on its forces to fix the problem. This situation is much more common than might be expected and underlies many of the conditions people experience.
Malachite lets every cell of the body know what is happening in every other cell. When one part of the body knows what is happening in another part, it becomes easier for the body to call all its resources together to combat a disease. Let's say, for example, that your liver has a cyst tucked away in it and that your mind has no awareness of it. The rest of your body may also have no idea it is there. Malachite can help the physical body discover such a cyst. Once alerted to the existence of the cyst, your body's survival mechanism will naturally call on your immune system, eliminative organs, and whatever other systems are needed to start working on that cyst.
Malachite's energy moves down and up the inside of the body in a movement that resembles waves. This wave-like motion is key to its effects. Malachite spheres start emitting their waves when the spheres are awakened by your aura. Then the waves move down and up your body in a soothing, rhythmic flow. As they move through you, the Malachite waves gather information about your body and start alerting the body to its disharmonies. The action of the waves also erodes the energetic surfaces and edges of these disharmonious areas, assisting in their resolution.
Everyone who wears therapeutic Malachite experiences different effects. This is because the side effects of its wave-like motion can be felt in many different ways. In some people, Malachite breaks up stagnant fluids and releases congestion; in some, it increases circulation; and, in others, it opens chakras. Some people say it opens the brow chakra, and they give credit to Malachite for the spiritual experiences that result. Malachite's wave-like motion simply stirs and breaks up anything in the way of establishing and increasing harmony throughout the body.
When Malachite has awakened the body in its unique way, it is possible that you will come to a deeper knowingness and understanding of your physical condition. You may even realize that you have the potential to heal in areas where you thought health was no longer possible. All of this will result from all parts of your body becoming aware of all other parts.
In a sense, Malachite enables your body to hear that its disharmonious areas are out of tune with the rest of your body, thus prompting your body to work to bring them back into harmony. Malachite's goal is to have every cell playing a note of a harmonious chord. The subtle music emanating from someone who has worn Malachite spheres for a long time is beautiful. This music is the vibration of harmony expressing itself in subtle sound. When all your cells are in harmony, no note cancels out or dampens the sound of any other note. You ring with subtle, harmonious music.
Malachite: A Living Library
Just as each organ in the body serves a specific function, each type of gemstone serves an energetic function for the Earth. For example, Leopardskin Jasper acts like the planet's nervous system, and Sodalight helps keep the atmosphere clean. Malachite also has a special purpose. It serves as a storehouse of information about the Earth—about the mechanical workings of the planet itself as well as its relationship to the solar system, Moon, Sun, and to a lesser extent, the galaxy to which it belongs. It also stores information about all of the Earth's life forms.
Malachite's wave-like emanations of energy are key to the way it gathers and communicates the information it stores. The black or dark green bands characteristic of Malachite's appearance initiate these waves. The waves travel through the planet, collecting information and sharing it with other deposits of Malachite. The exact mechanics of how Malachite stores and communicates this information is a subject for future research. In the meantime, people can access this information by performing the Malachite “Technique to Access Planetary Information.” See the Therapies tab to learn how to perform this technique.
Malachite Framed in Metal
When any form of Malachite is framed or mounted in metal, the metal inhibits the Malachite's emanations. It is through Malachite's wave emanations that it produces its healing benefits. Consequently, if you wear Malachite mounted in metal and want to experience its full healing effects, you will be disappointed. The minor effects that you may experience when Malachite is even partially encased in metal come from the waves reflecting off the open face of the Malachite and into your aura. This is usually an indirect, haphazard kind of wave motion, and it is not necessarily soothing.
Therapeutic Malachite displays crisp, straight black or dark-green bands in a light green base. These bands form a bull's-eye on opposite sides of each sphere. Malachite spheres with irregularly shaped or muddy bands are much less effective than those with sharp, distinct bands. Indeed, the greater the contrast between the dark bands and light green base, the greater the Malachite’s therapeutic effects.
Bead Orientation
Therapeutic Malachite necklaces should be strung with the spheres’ drill holes piercing the center of each sphere’s bull's-eye. This way of stringing facilitates the down/up wave motion of Malachite. If all the drill holes were positioned so that the bull's-eyes faced in random directions, the down/up wave motion would be erratic. The wave emanations of the Malachite would radiate in the various directions that the bull's-eyes were pointing. This would not only make the necklace non-therapeutic, but would be disruptive to the wearer.
Gemisphere is a wonderful company for lots of reasons, but most importantly for the quality of their gemstones. I can feel the difference between their gemstones and the generic ones you can buy online or at lapidary stores. Hands down, Gemisphere is the best.
One gemstone in particular that has been of great benefit to me is Malachite. I was surprised at its effectiveness in unburying and releasing old emotional gunk that I didn't know I was carrying. When I wore my Malachite necklace for the first time, I could feel a gentle, wave-like energy pulsing through me. Within a few hours I experienced a deep emotional release. It felt so cleansing.
I have been able to use Malachite for this purpose on multiple occasions, not only for emotional healing, but for physical healing as well. Whenever I feel like something inside me needs to be resolved but is stuck, I grab my Malachite. It works like a charm.

I recently put on my Malachite necklace after not having used it for many months. During the next four days I made a dietary adjustment, treated myself to a Citrine therapy, and selected a homeopathic remedy to upgrade my overall health. I attribute all these steps and the resulting benefits to the influence of the Malachite.

In the month since I starting wearing Malachite, it has changed my life. I live a very hectic, busy life in a large urban center, where stress is a way of life. With Malachite, I can feel my body deeply relaxing, and I am having the best sleep I have had in years. I have suffered from chronic insomnia for a long time, and it is a joy to sleep deeply through the night and awaken feeling relaxed and well rested.
I also hadn’t had a menstrual period in over 18 months, so imagine my surprise and delight when I began to menstruate again. Another of my health challenges has been constipation. After several weeks of wearing Malachite, I am clearing out in a wonderful way.
Since wearing Malachite, I feel as though my body has begun to remember its blueprint for how it is supposed to work. All the disparate energies that weren't working in concert have begun to work together. I feel like my body is beginning to remember its best self and work at a much higher level than it has in many years. Thank you, Malachite!

In September, I bought a Malachite necklace for the husband of a good friend. She is happy about the effects that Malachite has on her husband. This is what she told me:
“My husband fell in love with his Malachite necklace at first sight and has worn it every day since. He bought it for its ability to harmonize the body and to help with a long-time liver problem. His liver values improved significantly in a short time. This alone is remarkable, but it got even better.
“My husband always had a difficult personality. Communication with him was always difficult, and I often avoided it. But since he has been wearing Malachite, that has changed impressively. He listens to what I have to say, and he is calm and thoughtful. Our communication has improved a lot, and I'm no longer afraid to talk to him. I'm so happy about the harmony that Malachite has brought to us. Malachite’s calming and balancing effects on all levels are really wonderful."

I am a professional piano teacher and have a mild case of arthritis. My Malachite necklace has been indispensable in keeping my hands pain-free. In addition, whenever I wear Malachite for a while, I notice that my whole body becomes more flexible and better coordinated, and playing piano and teaching become a joy.

Twenty-two years ago, I suffered a spinal cord brain injury. My qi gong teacher recommended that I find and use gemstones to support my qi gong movement and meditations practices. When I am practicing, I wear my Malachite necklace to help me hold the healing empty space of alignment. Wearing the Malachite has helped me align my injured spine.

Wear It Around Your Neck
One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Malachite necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems.
Focused Treatments
You can also use Malachite for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery.
This Malachite therapy awakens the entire body to the presence of distress or disease in a particular area. A Malachite necklace is placed on an ailing area to help dissolve the area's deep-seated disharmonies, to bring the area into greater harmony with the rest of the body, and to improve communication throughout the entire body.
Single-Sphere Technique to Access Planetary Information
A Malachite sphere is used in contemplation to learn about the mechanical workings of the Earth and its relationship to the atmosphere, moon, sun, solar system, and galaxy or to learn about the Earth's life forms. For maximum benefit, this technique is accompanied by contemplation on a prime number.
Time Guidelines
Malachite can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.
Cleanse Malachite Regularly
To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Malachite necklace. Learn more about these methods.
Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.
Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.
Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time.
Special Notes: Avoid rinsing and clay cleansing, which will dull Malachite’s polish.
Store the necklace separately to protect the Malachite, which is a relatively soft gem.
When Your Necklace First Arrives
When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.
