Malachite
A beautiful green stone, exhibiting layers with dark and light, often concentric banding. It is in fact a major copper ore, with substantial deposits being mined in Zaire and Zambia.

During Medieval times those who wore Malachite were said to be protected from the power of witches. The stone afforded special protection for children.
