Care and handling instructions for malachite

To ensure your malachite hand specimen retains its full beauty in the long term, we recommend the following care instructions:

• Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth
• Avoid direct contact with water or cleaning agents – malachite is sensitive to acids and moisture
• Protect from scratches: malachite has a moderate hardness (approx. 3.5–4 Mohs) and can scratch easily
• Cleanse energetically, e.g. with smoke, a selenite plate, or in moonlight – according to personal belief
• Important: Malachite contains copper – please do not use as a drinking stone
