Malachite is an essence of the heart. Keeping dark emotions locked away in the heart keeps us from reaching our full potential. Malachite helps us release this darkness, channelling it out through the throat chakra where it can be dissipated by the Will. Release is the key. Malachite helps us release that which no longer serves us. By opening and clearing our hearts, we open to higher levels of consciousness and higher levels of love, towards ourselves and others. Malachite places a shield around the heart, allowing negative energies to leave but only positive love energies to enter. Malachite shows the way towards compassion for our fellow beings.
