Malachite

A form of copper ore, Malachite is a rich, dark green with characteristic bands of green and black; it has been used in jewellery for centuries, and was ground up for use in cosmetics by the ancient Egyptians.

Malachite is believed to assist its wearer in coming to terms with change, and helps to release old hurts by helping its wearer to understand the root causes of past patterns. It is also said to bring great loyalty in love and in friendships.

This stone is also said to amplify all emotions - both positive and negative - so caution should be used in wearing it when emotions are in a fragile state.

Onyx

A form of black chalcedony, Onyx is said to help its wearer to become 'master of one's own fate', enhancing steadfastness and determination, while protecting its wearer from the negativity of others.

Ancient Egyptians believed that Onyx could protect against and sever emotional entanglements, and the stone is still said to be of great use in absorbing excess of emotion. In addition, Onyx assists its wearer in changing old patterns of behaviour . These properties make Onyx an excellent choice for those who are experiencing difficulty in letting go of old habits or past attachments.
