Malachite is a semi-precious stone that derives from copper that has always been mined in Russia, Italy and also in some areas of Africa. Since ancient times, magical, divinatory and calming properties have been attributed to this green stone, so much so that the Egyptian pharaohs used to embed it in their headdresses. It has always been a stone linked to femininity and fertility
