Chrysocolla Properties: 

Chrysocolla was named by Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher and botanist, in 315 B.C. Its name originates from the Greek words chrysos, meaning gold, and kola, meaning glue, due to its historical use as an ingredient for solder by goldsmiths. This gemstone has long served as a source of inspiration for various artists throughout history, from ancient goldsmiths using it for solder, to Renaissance painters grinding it as pigment, and even modern jewellery designer-artists incorporating it into their designs. Chrysocolla, which is considered as the ruler of carbonate copper gemstones, exhibits a captivating hue that is a combination of vibrant blue and green. This gemstone is commonly found in conjunction with malachite, turquoise, and azurite, resulting in a splendid melange known as Eilat stone. This stone derives its name from the city where it was initially extracted and holds mythical importance as it was believed to have originated from King Solomon’s mines in Africa. Chrysocolla has held a reputation as a calming and reassuring stone around the globe for countless centuries. In the olden days of Egypt, it acquired the title of the “wise stone” due to its capacity to protect and inspire mental clarity during negotiations. Individuals adorned with this stone would often find ingenious ways to achieve compromises and solutions. Additionally, chrysocolla possesses the power to aid those prone to aggression in becoming more compassionate and open-minded, which is why Cleopatra, as an ambassador, adorned herself with chrysocolla jewellery on all occasions. By purifying the home, environment, and mind, chrysocolla possesses the capacity to promote harmony and enhance wisdom, guiding individuals towards exercising discretion. It fosters a level-headed approach, encouraging clear thinking and a composed, impartial mindset even in turbulent situations. Additionally, chrysocolla aids in reducing nervousness and irritability.
