Malachite is a gemstone and its properties are for healing. To the
Native Americans, the turtle was a symbol of Mother Earth and
a reminder that she provides for all our needs. The turtle can remind
us to take time for ourselves. It also reminds us to awaken and
heighten our sensibilities. Turtles are symbolic of longevity. Just
like the turtle cannot separate itself from its shell, neither can we
separate ourselves from what we do to the Earth. 1.5" x 1" long.
