Malachite is known as the "Stone of Transformation," symbolizing growth, protection, and positive change, absorbing negativity and promoting emotional healing, new beginnings, and personal growth. Historically, it was used for its protective powers against evil, illness, and lightning, and associated with fertility, abundance, and new life in ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece, often linked to goddesses of love and nature,. Its striking green bands represent the balance of light and dark, making it a powerful stone for spiritual journeys and overcoming obstacles, according to Crystal Council.
