Chrysocolla
Description:
Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper silicate mineral, often found in a stunning mix of turquoise blue, teal, and green hues. It forms in the oxidation zones of copper ore and is commonly found in Peru, Chile, the USA, Mexico, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its vivid colours and flowing patterns are often enhanced by being found alongside other minerals like malachite, azurite, and turquoise.
Historically, Chrysocolla was known as a stone of the wise and peaceful—used by ancient Egyptians and Native American cultures for healing, teaching, and strengthening emotional bonds.
Healing Benefits:
