African Malachite Stone Hand Carved Animal Elephant Rock

The material came from the Katanga Mine area in the Congo, Africa.

Malachite is a copper carbonate. It has a hardness between 3.5 and 4. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, and most often forms botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses. This material is found in the oxidation zone of major copper deposits.

This stone's name is from the Greek, malache, - "mallow" in reference to its green leaf color.

This elephant is 3 inches long by slightly more than 1 inch wide and almost 2 inches tall.

Metaphysical Properties: Malachite is a very protective stone, being especially helpful for general protection, protection from evil, protection during pregnancy and childbirth, and protection for children. It is also an excellent protection stone during flying and other travel. Using this stone, one can counteract self-destructive romantic tendencies and help encourage true, pure love. Malachite is also good for enhancing emotional stability and balance in general.

The elephant is the symbol of strength, luck and wisdom. The elephant is also considered a strong symbol of luck - keep a lucky elephant at the door to your house to protect from bad luck and to bring good luck to all who live t

Elephants have been revered in Thailand for many centuries. In fact they are the national symbol of Thailand. And of course, the symbol of the Republican party in the U.S.A.!
