Malachite is a stone revered throughout the ages, across cultures as a representative of life, fertility, rebirth, death, the afterlife, and resurrection. In Egypt (Kemet) it was used for jewelry, carving ornaments, and ritualized in its use and wearing. Dieties can be seen donning malachite in egyptian hieroglyphs. Malachite was often carved into scarabs, and deemed a stone of protection.

Chrysocolla is known to many as a stone of goddess energy- an embodiment of the divine feminine, intuitive, and nurturing qualities. Ranging from shades of blue and turquoise to green, this copper based stone forms when copper oxidizes, and is often found in copper deposits amongst quartz and calcite.

In alignment with it’s blue-green coloration, this stone works with the throat and third eye chakras. It is appreciated for its conductivity amongst these energy centers and inspires healthy self expression.

Onyx has been thought to aid in protection, defensive magic, and in transmuting energy. It is said to reinforce the understanding that there is no ending, brining the wearer into tune with the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

Copper has long been used by humans for its versatility, symbology, and looks. It’s ability to conduct electricity makes it a perfect choice for the wiring in technology, as well as bodily adornment using crystals. Many have seen copper jewelry to symbolize the Kundalini energy, otherwise known as the “copper serpent” winding up and down the spinal column as the Ida and Pingala. Its orange hues denoting the sacral chakra and regenerative alchemy.
