Green Crystals and Gemstones – Malachite and Emerald
As one of the oldest known stones, Malachite is a dense and magical stone that calms and soothes tense nerves. It is a powerful stone to manifest wealth, prosperity and abundance. The ancient Egyptians used the power of malachite to effect great changes within their physical bodies, healing at the cellular level. This many-layered stone helps ground nervousness or excess energy, allowing the Crown Chakra to open more fully and allow higher frequencies of energy to be channeled.
Malachite’s color appears in many layers of green creating a smooth, flowing effect when viewed. It is a heavy stone, and is found both in its natural form, polished on one side, or as boulders.
Instead of emitting energy, Malachite absorbs energy by transmuting the energy within herself. Place this stone over areas that may be experiencing discomfort or discomfort, it will draw in or away from your lower frequency energy causing disharmony within the physical body.

• Vibratory Frequency: dense, intense, use it with great respect.
• Spiritual Properties: channeling higher frequency vibrations, which allows you to tune in with spiritual guides more easily.
Use this stone as a tool to focus your energy, to help Mother Earth regenerate herself, healing in a very profound way. The striations, the lines, the layers of Malachite are part of its charm, the very essence of this beautiful stone.
The best way to cleanse and recharge Malachite is by placing it in the sun or in a large clear quartz cluster.
Emerald – Stone of Clear Awareness
The Emerald is thought to be a bridge, a bridge between the mental and emotional planes; a bridge between two people; harmonizing both the desire to give and the desire to receive love. It does not have the ability on its own to produce a healing effect on the physical body. However, with focused intention, it assists the wearer, recipient, and healer with a deeper vibration of energy to aid healing.
Additional attributes include enhancing thoughts, forgiving emotions in oneself and others. Strengthen, expand what is known and unite the power of focused thought and mental acuity.
Emerald is most closely associated with and resonates with the deep Heart Center, affecting emotional healing at its very core. Ancient Egyptians believed it protected travellers, when worn on the left arm; represents unconditional love, friendship, partnerships, a sense of oneness.
The color varies from intense grass green to light green, almost yellow. The energy signature, the vibrational frequency has the ability to be gentle, healing, loving, generous, strong, subtle and free-flowing.
• Association of the Angelic Kingdom: the archangel Jophiel, whose name means “Beauty of God”, will help you see through the eyes of love; beyond superficial appearances, beyond what is perceived.
• Healing properties: compassion, love, physical strength, capable of relieving back pain.
• Vibratory frequency: delicate, strong, subtle, fluid.
• Spiritual Properties: ability to enhance wisdom on the mental plane; expands the give and take within the heart and mind.
It is better not to wear an emerald constantly as it can overestimate mental activity, perhaps causing loss of sleep, excessive mental chatter.
An emerald’s brilliance may seem flawed, do not mistake it for an inferior gemstone because its healing properties are not yet fully understood. Be kind to yourself while you work and wear this amazing green gem.
