Caring for your malachite (please read)
Never put malachite in water or make “elixirs” with it. Malachite contains copper and is toxic when wet or in powder/dust form. Keep it dry, don’t inhale dust from raw pieces, and wash your hands after handling raw stone. Enjoy it as a display and ritual piece — safely.
Your house, your energy.
