It must be protected so as not to be damaged. It must be protected from light, sun and temperature variations. Be careful, because there are many azurite malachite stones that are in fact synthetic stones, but sold as natural stones. \u003cbr\u003eIt should be noted that azurite and malachite have the same chemical composition and the same crystal system. In azurite malachite, we notice that over time azurite has the ability to transform into malachite, this is the phenomenon of pseudomorphosis. In this association, azurite and malachite are united in syngenesis, that is to say that they were formed at the same time within the same aggregate thanks to a phenomenon of copper oxidation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Known since the 17th century BC, azurite has been used in many civilizations. Traces have been identified in ointments made by Egyptians of the 4th dynasty. This stone was known to combat pain. Azurite also had another function, which was to serve as a blue pigment in frescoes or in the decoration of art objects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, the Greeks called this stone \"kuanos” (cyan). For them, it represented a stone with powerful healing powers. As for the Romans, they called it \"caeruleum”. It is also a pigment used in decorations or artistic paintings. The Greeks and Romans had found deposits of this stone in Armenia or on the island of Cyprus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the Mayan civilization, the blue stone had a sacred power: it evoked the wisdom of a great purity of the heart.\u003cbr\u003e In 317 BC, the alchemist, philosopher and botanist Theophrastus described azurite in his work The Treatise on Stones and gave it the name Lapis Armenis or Armenian Stone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the Middle Ages, blue stone came from Germany or Hungary. It was used to color manuscripts. Then discovered in Chessy-les-Mines in the Rhône, it was also called chessylite. \u003cbr\u003eIn 1824, the mineralogist and geologist François Sulpice Beudant gave it the name azurite, in reference to its azure blue color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The name Malchite comes from the Latin term \"malachite\" which means through. This term comes from a plant called \"Malache\". The leaves of this plant have an intense green color.\u003cbr\u003e Truly adored by the Egyptians, malachite is the symbol of eternal youth and rebirth. When the Egyptians spoke of life after death, they spoke of the domain of Malachite. They firmly believed in resurrection and a new life after death, represented by malachite. During their pregnancy, Egyptian women wore a malachite around their neck and honored Thoueris, the protective goddess of motherhood with this stone as an offering.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Greece, fighters wore malachite amulets to protect them from possible injuries. This green stone was known to help them heal more quickly. This stone is found as a decoration in the temple of Artemis, goddess of hunting in Ephesus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the Middle Ages, this stone was said to have virtues that allowed one to understand animals. It was also used as a lucky charm and it was thought that this stone protected children from fatal diseases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But this stone is often used as an ornamental stone and to this day, we discover it in many illuminations or frescoes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAzurite malachite is a mixture of blue azurite and green malachite. It is particularly appreciated for this unusual appearance with this mixture of intense blue and shimmering green. Nowadays, this stone is used in the manufacture of jewelry and in the practice of lithotherapy. Indeed, it is particularly beneficial because it combines the benefits of both stones.\u003cbr\u003e Deposits of Azurite Malachite stone are found in Peru, Congo, Bolivia, China, Mexico and Morocco.\u003cbr\u003e In Lithotherapy, azurite malachite combines the benefits of both stones and is therefore particularly appreciated for its many qualities.\u003cbr\u003e Azurite is a particularly effective stone for people suffering from stress, anguish and anxiety. It allows the mind and psyche to rest by providing calm.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt promotes introspection, allows us to understand certain blockages due to past events and therefore to overcome them. It is a stone turned towards the future which encourages family and professional projects.\u003cbr\u003e This stone provides spiritual elevation and cultivates intuitions, makes one see what is beyond appearances. It facilitates meditation and concentration.\u003cbr\u003e It develops wisdom and provides harmony of life.\u003cbr\u003e Malachite strengthens self-confidence and removes negative feelings. It keeps its wearer away from tensions and states of intense sadness.\u003cbr\u003e It also reduces anxiety and anguish. Thus, it eliminates nightmares and provides restful and quality sleep.\u003cbr\u003e This stone also develops wisdom and allows a better understanding of others. It generates a great quality of listening. \u003cbr\u003ePlaced on the throat, it frees speech and provides positive communication.

This is not the name of the color mauve, but of the plant called \"mauve\", (a plant which has magnificent, relatively soft green leaves).\u003cbr\u003e Another hypothesis indicates that the origin of the name malachite comes from the Greek “Malachos” which means “soft” in reference to the tenderness of the stone. It is often this interpretation that is retained.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMalachite belongs to the large family of carbonates. This stone is in fact a true hydrated copper carbonate. It has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale, which makes it a soft stone. Working with it in jewelry requires skill to avoid breaking or scratching it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This stone is easily recognized thanks to its green, more or less dark, more or less light, dotted with light veins, or on the contrary black. Its green color results from the presence of copper. More rarely, malachite sometimes takes the form of prismatic crystals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlike many stones, malachite has many stories, legends and myths to its credit. The first uses of malachite date back to at least 4,000 BC. We can say that its history dates back to the dawn of time. For millennia, malachite has been used by many civilizations for therapeutic, medicinal, cosmetic and decorative purposes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn ancient Egyptian times, the venerable green stone was the symbol of rebirth, eternal youth and good health. For the Egyptians, death is the sign of new life. They even name the afterlife as the realm of malachite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Egyptian women wore malachite as an amulet bearing the image of Thouéris, protective goddess of motherhood. On a daily basis, malachite is crushed and used as cosmetics (eye shadow), while being known to relieve eye infections.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe ancient Greeks considered malachite a protective stone with many medicinal properties. Fighters wore it as an amulet in war. The Greeks also discovered the delicate and careful engraving of malachite cameos. Then, malachite was widely used in the creation of ornamentation on facades, living rooms and corridors. The temple of Artemis in Ephesus, one of the seven wonders of the world, is decorated with malachite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Roman civilization, malachite was often confused with chrysocolla.

This is not the name of the color mauve, but of the plant called “mauve”, (a plant that has beautiful, relatively soft green leaves).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAnother hypothesis indicates that the origin of the name malachite comes from the Greek \"Malachos” which means “soft” in reference to the tenderness of the stone. This is often the interpretation that is retained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Malachite belongs to the large family of carbonates. This stone is in fact a true hydrated carbonate of copper. It has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale, which makes it a soft stone. Working it in jewelry requires skill to avoid breaking or scratching it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This stone is easily recognized by its green, more or less dark, more or less light, dotted with light veins, or on the contrary black. Its green color results from the presence of copper. More rarely, malachite sometimes takes the form of prismatic crystals.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUnlike many stones, malachite has many stories, legends, and myths to its credit. The first uses of malachite date back to at least 4,000 years BC. It can be said that its history goes back to the dawn of time. For thousands of years, malachite has been used by many civilizations for therapeutic, medicinal, cosmetic, and decorative purposes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In ancient Egypt, the venerable green stone was a symbol of rebirth, eternal youth and good health. For the Egyptians, death was a sign of a new life. They even called the afterlife the realm of malachite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Egyptian women wore malachite as an amulet bearing the image of Thoueris, the protective goddess of motherhood. In everyday life, malachite is crushed and used as a cosmetic (eye shadow), while being known to relieve eye infections.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe ancient Greeks considered malachite to be a protective stone with many medicinal virtues. Fighters wore it as an amulet in war. The Greeks also discovered the delicate and meticulous engraving of malachite cameos. Later, malachite was widely used in the creation of ornaments for facades, living rooms and corridors. The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, one of the seven wonders of the world, is decorated with malachite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Roman civilization, malachite was often confused with chrysocolla. However, Pliny the Elder (23 AD - 79 AD), a famous naturalist, describes it perfectly in his encyclopedia Natural Histories. The Romans offered malachite in the form of pendants to children to protect them from lightning in the event of a storm.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the Middle Ages, curious abilities were attributed to malachite, including the ability to understand animals!
