Spiritually, Malachite is known as the "stone of transformation" because it helps reveal and heal emotional pain by absorbing the pain into itself. It is especially helpful in bringing ease during times of change and gives the insight needed for personal growth. Historically, Malachite was used as a protective stone, believed to ward off and absorb evil spirits and negative energies. It was widely used in decoration and fine art, as well as used as a pigment in painting and cosmetics.
