A stone that asks you to keep moving.
Malachite is known as a stone of transformation. It's said to help you change situations you're stuck in, and to clarify the emotions along the way, making it easier to actually see what you've been avoiding instead of staying tangled in it. It's tied to the heart and throat, works to clear and activate the chakras more broadly, and carries a long folk reputation for fidelity in love and friendship and for practicality in business dealings.
Material honesty, because you deserve to know what's on your wrist: these beads are reconstituted malachite, i.e. genuine malachite crushed and reformed with a binder into beads, rather than cut from solid stone. That's standard for most affordable malachite jewelry on the market today. Same crystal energy, PLUS the energy of rebirth!
Safety note: malachite carries copper, so keep this one dry; no water cleansing, no soaking, no elixirs (NO!). Wash hands after handling loose beads, and if one ever cracks or chips, keep it away from kids and pets.
Good for anyone doing heart-chakra or transformation work, business owners drawn to a stone associated with fair dealing, and shoppers who want malachite's reputation without the solid-stone price tag.
