Malachite Frog Carving | 115g

Carved from solid Malachite, this 115g frog sculpture highlights the mineral’s signature banded swirls in lush greens ranging from deep forest to bright mint. Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral known for its vibrant coloration and striking concentric patterns. This specimen was expertly shaped and polished to bring out its natural chatoyancy and rhythmic flow, qualities unique to high-grade material.

Malachite forms through the weathering of copper ore deposits, typically in association with azurite, chrysocolla, and cuprite. It’s a relatively soft stone (3.5–4 on the Mohs scale) but highly valued by collectors and artisans alike for its bold visuals and historical significance. The frog, a classic symbol of transformation and life-force energy, pairs beautifully with malachite’s reputation for energetic protection and renewal.

In metaphysical circles, Malachite is known as a stone of deep healing and transformation. It’s believed to absorb negativity, offer psychic protection, and act as a mirror, helping the user confront emotional blockages or outdated patterns. The frog carving adds symbolism of cleansing, adaptability, and spiritual rebirth, amplifying Malachite’s connection to personal evolution. This piece would make a meaningful addition to any altar, workspace, or collection focused on empowerment and change.
