Malachite is a fascinating gemstone, but it is important to use it with caution due to its chemical composition. Here are some precautions to take:

• Avoid prolonged contact of malachite with the skin, because it can cause skin irritation in some people (wear it only during the day and not at night or during intense physical exercise.)
• Never ingest malachite, either in raw stone form or in powder form.
• Malachite tarnishes if left in water for too long. Do not use in salt water.
• It is a stone that absorbs a lot and therefore needs to be purified and recharged often.

This stone should speak to a lot of sensitive souls. It is very powerful and needs to be "recharged" regularly. This is why it is recommended to wear it alone, so that it does not have to draw energy from other stones to regenerate. 🌞

It is best worn alone, especially if you are sensitive to the energies of stones, but there may be exceptions and it can be combined with:

• Aquamarine: Stimulates communication, creativity and inspiration.
• Lapis lazuli : stimulates the transformation, self-confidence and creativity.
• Amazonite: Brings calm, gentleness and harmony.
