A little bit about chrysocolla, one of my absolute favorite gemstones:
Found in deposits alongside its cousins Blue Azurite and Malachite, this gemstone forms amorphous shapes called stalactites, which contribute to its ability to create a flow of positive energy that helps you adapt to changes during a spiritual transformation.
The Chrysocolla crystal stone was named by Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher, after the words for “gold” and “glue.” It’s historical uses often relied upon its unique coloration. Chrysocolla was used to solder gold due to the copper ore within it. It was also ground into a fine powder used to create pigment for paint during the Renaissance period.
Cleopatra was said to have carried this Chrysocolla crystal with her, and it was also believed to be used by Roman Emperor Nero, who dusted the chariot race arenas with the stone powder.
