Botryoidal Malachite + Blue Chrysocolla | Natural Malachite Crystal Freeform | Intentional Congo Malachite | Heart Centered Stone
$102.00
This wild malacholla crystal freeform exists in the spaces where natural malachite and chrysocolla overlap. This unique, semi polished malachite palm stone manifests with distinct banding and botryoidal formations.
Congo malachite has always resonated so deeply with my heart, and, it is often a heavily conflicted stone.
This natural crystal being was mindfully, intentionally and ethically sourced from a family artisan near Lualaba who both mines and hand crafts these pieces.
Hand crafted, this one of a kind, freeform meditation stone has been semi polished with the intention to both highlight and honor the natural manifestation of the stone.
Striking coloring and inclusions are notable on the back and sides of this piece, with the front presenting with unique formations and exquisite botryoidal formations.
This unique crystal freeform has been shaped by nature, river of distinct malachite banding following the curvature of the stone.
The banding creates a snapshot of the evolution of the piece, highlighting the alternating layers of vibrant blue chrysocolla and rich emerald green malachite.
Tangible and tactile, this meditation stone asks to be held.

Chrysocolla is known as the βTeaching Stoneβ for its ability to support us in both accessing our truth and opening us up to higher levels of wisdom and knowledge.
Though this stone has adorned emperors and kings for centuries, Chrysocolla is said to be a stone here to support us wise women as we move through the world.
Chrysocolla is associated with our heart and throat centers, while also strongly resonating with our root.
The throat and heart are deeply entwined. We often speak of the getting to the βheart of the truth.β In order to speak our truth, to carry our truth out into the world, we must first understand it.
Our heart centers are truth tellers. When we tune in, our heart helps direct us towards what feels aligned and what doesnβt. Whatβs for us, and whatβs simply not ours.
In our ever quickening world, it can feel difficult to block out all of the noise and tap into the language of the heart. Our root chakra supports this work.
By supporting our root, Chrysocolla supports our capacity to do this work in this moment, in this body, grounded in the greater truth of what is now.
This stone wants us to explore expression and to tap into out creativity, to use these tools to share our wisdom and join our voices with the collective voice.
Chrysocolla is here for our highest good, and it asks us to channel this energy back out into the world.
Used by the Egyptians as far back as 4000 BCE, Malachite is known as the Stone of Transformation.
Working with the upper heart chakra, Malachiteβs highly vibrational energy helps to flush out emotional toxins and negative energy.
The heart is the center of our energetic system - the bridge between the upper chakras (our truth and connection to what is) and our lower chakras (our sense of self and connection to the earth).
Malachite helps to cleanse the system, removing blockages and stagnant energy and emotions. When our heart centers are clear, energy is able to move more freely between our upper and lower chakras, strengthening our connection to above and below.
Our heart center is also intrinsically linked to our third eye chakra, and Malachite supports us by opening up this connection.
Our third eye is often referred to as the βseat of our intuition.β When our third eye is clear, weβre able to tap into our innate sense of knowing and our connection to what is with greater ease.
Malachite is a copper based mineral, and has been utilized for centuries for its potent powers of protection.
Malachite sweeps both our selfβs and the space which surrounds us for unbeneficial energy or energy that is no longer in alignment with our greatest good.
By keeping us and our environment clear, weβre able to access our innate wisdom and courage with more clarity.
Malachite assists us in moving through the world confidently, in alignment with our highest selfβs and aligned with our true and greatest purpose.

**Since humans began to document communication, and likely even before then, stones have been used to support emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Stones are matter, and like all matter, vibrate at their own frequency. This energetic support is most often used as one modality in a larger, holistic, whole health approach.

Ethical Commitment - Part I
Unfortunately mining crystals is not regulated in most places, which makes ensuring stones are sourced ethically quite difficult at times.
We believe wholeheartedly that these stones have the power to foster great healing, and it is with love and reverence for Mother Earth, each other, and all things that we offer these products.
We work hard to do our due-diligence. We ask questions about the origin of the pieces, and do not purchase from mines/areas that are known for having unfair practices.
Sometimes we are at the mercy of the vendor regarding this information. See our FAQ, βEthical Stone Information - Part IIβ for details regarding the steps we take before weβre comfortable listing these offerings.
Ethical Commitment - Part II
Certain areas/mines have no regulations in place to protect the environment, ensure staff is age appropriate, receives fair pay, treatment & benefits & has adequate PPE. We will not purchase from these locations & we work hard to determine each pieceβs origin.
When not possible, we must rely on our vendors. Weβve invested time, money & effort into building relationships & trust. We also always trust our gut - If weβre not comfortable, we will not purchase. We continue to educate ourselves & on the rare occasion we learn later that a piece was mined unethically, we will pull it.
Though ethically sourced often = higher cost, we believe strongly in these values. We strive to offer pieces accessible to all, with great love & deep gratitude.
Why is Everything Priced as a Whole Number?
There is a short and a less than short answer here.
Short answer - Iβve never been able to get behind the whole psychology of βcharging $9.99 will look like a better deal than $10 & will increase your sales.β This feels almost dishonest for me, personally, & itβs not a practice I am comfortable with simply for the sake of it.
The less than short answer is that I have always loved whole numbers, particularly the number 0. β0β is often referred to as the void & is considered the space of nothingness. While this isnβt untrue, from nothingness comes the infinite possibility of everything. The void is the beginning of creation, the sacred pause. The end & the beginning.
The number β0β has always felt like magic in tangible form to me.
