Malachite Jewelry?
Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2017 1:43 pm
Hey everyone -- question for you! I have a covenmate who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Someone recommended that she wear malachite, since it's good for drawing out excess negative energy (kind of like a sponge) and for clearing the heart chakra. I picked up some tumbled malachite that is really beautiful and I'd love to wrap it for her as a pendant.
However, I've read in various places that malachite can be toxic -- mostly when you breathe in the dust when it's being cut, but also possibly when it gets wet. Since it's tumbled, that's probably not so much of a problem, but I'm concerned that if it gets scratched or wet, then maybe it'll be harmful to wear? (last thing I want to do is give my friend more health problems to worry about!) I'm wondering if anyone wears malachite jewelry or has any experiences/knowledge to share on the subject? Thanks!
