{"product_id":"sphere-malachite-1-2","title":"Malachite Sphere - 1.5-2.0 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Malachite Sphere is a fully rounded, high-polished ball of vivid green Malachite, its surface swirling with the concentric bands, eyes and rosettes the stone is famous for. Roughly the size of a golf ball to a small orange depending on the piece selected, each sphere shows a distinct arrangement of light and dark green banding, and the continuous polished curve feels notably dense and substantial when held.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalachite is traditionally associated with transformation and growth, alongside protection and grounding, long regarded as a bold, active stone of change. A sphere form is often chosen for this purpose, as its curvature is believed to radiate energy evenly in all directions rather than in a single line, making it well suited to a desk, shelf, or altar where its banding can be viewed from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Transformation \u0026amp; Growth\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Heart, Solar Plexus\u003cbr\u003e\nAlternate Birthstone: May\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Capricorn, Scorpio\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Snake, Ox\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Venus\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Earth\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 3.5-4\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Carbonate\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Malachite\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Sphere\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 34-49 mm (1.3-1.9 inch)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 76-220 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMalachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide (Mohs 3.5-4, monoclinic system) that produces some of the most vivid greens in the mineral world, its colour derived entirely from copper. The characteristic banding, alternating light and dark green, forms through rhythmic precipitation of copper carbonate during growth, often producing botryoidal or eye-like patterns. Ground Malachite was used as a green eye pigment in ancient Egypt, and the Malachite Room in the Winter Palace in St Petersburg remains one of the most spectacular examples of decorative mineral use in history. Principal sources include the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia, along with Russia, Australia, the USA, and Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
