Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, formed by the precipitation of copper rich solutions in limestone regions. It often forms stalactites, which when sliced reveal the the  wonderful vivid green banding characteristic of the gemstone.

Malachite is the stone of balance and harmony, abundance , empathy and positivity  .It is associated with the Demeter ,Greek goddess of the Earth and fertility. A birthstone for Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio.

Moonstone is an Orthoclase Feldspar formed from cooling magmas  deep within the Earth. As the magmas cooled at differing speeds so thin layers of the minerals Albite and Orthoclase formed . These minerals have different reflective indexes so light entering the stone is scattered  and diffused in many directions creating the beautiful changes in colour known as adularescence and wonderful lines and patterns within the gemstone.

It is regarded by many cultures as the stone of femininity and is the birthstone for Cancerians and Gemini.  It may improve intuition and creativity ,providing a calming effect .
