Information:
Malachite is one
of the most beautiful stones in the world because of its different
shades of green that are blended in colorful bands throughout the
stone. Malachite is one of the oldest known stones, used for
thousands of years for its healing and transforming properties.
Malachite was considered to be a talisman for children. If a piece
of the stone were attached to an infant's cradle, all evil spirits
were held aloof and the child slept soundly and peacefully.
Malachite is said to also be an effective remedy for female
problems, especially regulating the menstrual cycle and cramps. As
for its spiritual properties Malachite is considered to be a
protection stone that overcomes fear of flying, absorbing negative
energies from the body, and in the workplace, Malachite protects
against noise, over-bright fluorescent lighting, and harmful rays
from technological equipment, negative phone calls and emails.
Wow!!! ost of the turquoise on the market has been treated in some way to deal with four problems characteristic with this gemstone. First, turquoise is soft, sometimes even brittle, and thus susceptible to fractures. Second, turquoise is porous and which makes it is susceptible to staining, discoloration, and fading. Third, untreated turquoise never comes in a slab form just "rocks", so you can never make knife handles. Fourth, turquoise is getting harder to find and supplies are of a lower quality. These four problems can be handled in different ways, but the most common techniques is to reconstitute the turquoise by grinding the turquoise to a powder then adding a binding agent then dried. This makes slabs of turquoise which can then be used for knife handles. The Buffalo Horn I use in my knives is actually from domesticated water buffalo from Southeast Asia. There are at least 130 million domesticated water buffalo and more people depend on them than on any other domesticated animal. This particular piece provides a nice contrast to the Malachite. |
