Malachite is a carbonate hydroxide mineral and its green banded colour is due to the copper content. Individual crystals are rare as it forms mostly in botryoidal , fibrous, or stalagmitic masses. Malachite is very often carved into ornaments or statues. Only use malachite in its polished form as the high copper content makes it toxic. Malachite absorbs negative energy and pollutants from the environment and body. It can guard against radiation and electromagnetic pollution.

Obsidian forms from molten lava in the last stages of volcanic eruptions, the remaining silica minerals flow onto the surface and cool rapidly into glass before crystallization can occur. The colour of pure Obsidian is black, but there are other variations depending on inclusions of crystals where the lava cooled slower. The most common are mahogany, snowflake (white spots of crystobalite), rainbow and gold-sheen. There are also Apache Tears which are small rounded rough form

Hematite is the mineral form of Iron Oxide. It is rather variable in its appearance as it can be reddish brown or all shades of silvery-grey and it forms as crystals, massive, rosettes, botryoidal (grape formation) or columnar. However it has formed, it will have a rust red streak through it. The hematite that is most frequently available is a metallic grey colour and has been polished and formed into a tumblestone - photo 1. Photo 2 is natural hematite on dark amethyst and p
