Malachite is another copper-based stone that can bring prosperity into your business or your life. It is also a stone of protection. On the spiritual level, Malachite can help you through your own spiritual growth process and help you deal with the changes that come along your way.
While tradition holds that malachite is associated with the heart chakra, I personally get a very strong activation reaction when I place malachite next to my third eye. Also, use malachite to stay grounded, especially in terms of taking lofty ideas and manifesting them on the material plane.
Malachite has been used to treat asthma, arthritis, torn muscles, swollen joints, growths and tumors. It has also been used to boost the overall immune system.
Malachite is an earthy expression of copper while Azurite is a watery expression. As it is common to see chunks of the green malachite in azurite and so it is not surprising that these two minerals work well together.
