{"product_id":"carving-angel-malachite-2-2-5","title":"Malachite Angel Carving - 2.25-2.5 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Malachite Angel Carving is a small angel figure carved from vivid green Malachite, showing the banded and swirling light-and-dark green patterns the stone is famous for. The polished surface brings out the concentric banding, so each angel carries its own arrangement of rings and curves, and the figure stands upright as a small decorative and devotional piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalachite is traditionally associated with transformation, positive change and protective grounding, and is one of the most visually striking green stones. An angel carving like this is kept on a desk, shelf or altar, given as a thoughtful token, or placed in a personal space, valued for both its rich green colour and its protective associations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a natural stone, the banding pattern and depth of green differ from one carving to the next, so the piece you receive will be its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Transformation \u0026amp; Growth\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Heart, Solar Plexus\u003cbr\u003eBirthstone: May\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Scorpio, Capricorn\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Ox, Snake\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Venus\u003cbr\u003eElements: Earth\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 3.5-4\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Carbonate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Malachite\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: South Africa\u003cbr\u003eForm: Carving\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 60-67 mm (2.25-2.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 59-76 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMalachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide, crystallising in the monoclinic system at a soft Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4, producing some of the most vivid greens in the mineral world, with its colour coming entirely from copper. Its characteristic light-and-dark green banding forms by rhythmic precipitation of copper carbonate during growth. It was ground and used as a green eye pigment in ancient Egypt, and the Russian Imperial Malachite Room in the Winter Palace in St Petersburg is one of the most spectacular examples of decorative mineral use in history. This material is supplier-sourced from South Africa; the major documented deposits are the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Russia, Australia, the United States and Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.

The polished carving is safe for normal display and handling, but wash your hands after handling, keep it dry and out of water (it is not suitable for water elixirs), and never sand, grind or inhale its dust. Keep it away from harder stones so the surface does not scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuturaSol","offers":[{"title":"57 mm - 59 g","offer_id":47622715179238,"sku":"31331001-OFF-F2-59G","price":78.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 mm - 75 g","offer_id":47622715212006,"sku":"31331001-OFF-F2-75G","price":86.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"66 mm - 67 g","offer_id":47622715146470,"sku":"31331001-OFF-F2-67G","price":79.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/7200\/5350\/files\/Untitleddesign-2026-07-01T234333.969.jpg?v=1782929729","url":"https:\/\/auturasol.com\/products\/carving-angel-malachite-2-2-5","provider":"AuturaSol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
