since malachite has copper in it, it is therefore not recommended for use in exlirs. Most people in writeups cover their butts by stating it is poisonous and should wear a mask when tumbling this stone and it is. As such one should keep in mind that this applies mostly to people who tumble/process large amounts on a somewhat regular basis. Tumbling a few specimens once a year will not have adverse side-effects if one were to hang around the tumbler and breath in any odd particals. also some people will also state to use only the polished specimens and not a raw piece. while other people will not use it at all in elixirs. the choice is up to you. i used a polished piece in an elixir once and had no side effects. however i only used it once and will not intend to do so again.
