Malachite was incorporated into amulets as far back as the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Malachite amulets were thought to protect against the evil eye. Much later, in the Middle Ages, malachite was worn by children to protect them from black magic and witchcraft. Malachite was thought to have warning abilities, and if danger was near, the gemstone would break into pieces.
Malachite is the traditional gemstone for the 13th wedding anniversary.
