How to use it
Use it as a landing place: rings at the end of the day, tumbled stones between grids, a folded intention slip, incense ash before it goes outside.
On an altar it makes a good offering dish — dry offerings only, since standing water is not kind to malachite.
Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. Skip soap, vinegar, and any acidic cleaner.

✨ Temple Tip
Never let water sit in it. Malachite is a copper carbonate and dislikes moisture and acids — a dry cloth is the whole cleaning routine, and it will keep its gloss for decades.
