Malachite encourages the wearer to take risks and teaches to take responsibility for one’s thoughts, actions, and feelings. It balances mood swings, heals cramps, alleviates menstrual disorders, and boosts the immune system.

If kept with money, malachite was believed to increase wealth. Traders also wore the stone during business transactions to attract profitable deals. (Of course, in modern America, green is the color of money, symbolically and literally).
