30mm Cuprite-Chrysocoll - Donut Gemstone Necklace - incl. 925 Sterling Silver Donut Holder + 304 Stainless Steel Chain with Lobster Clasp


Chrysocolla is a mineral stone whose color varies from green to turquoise. It forms mineral aggregates that have a kidney- or grape-like, stalactite-shaped or grainy shape. It also occurs in the form of crusts, layers and tiny crystals. Its name is derived from the Greek words "chrysos" for gold and "kolla" for sticking, which then means gold glue. The mineral received this name due to its ability to connect individual gold beads during granulation, an ancient goldsmith technique. Synonyms include copper pebbles, copper green, mountain green or pebble malachite.

Even in ancient times, chrysocolla was revered as a stone of hope. It is said to be a wise stone because it can encourage compromise and thus protect against emotional injuries. It is said that even Cleopatra always carried a chrysocolla with her because it was said to calm the mind and make one more tolerant and sensitive. In ancient Egypt, it was considered the softer brother of turquoise. The name chrysocolla is derived from the Greek "chrysos" (in German: gold) and "kolla" (in German: stick). Its name comes from the fact that it was often used in goldsmithing as a gold glue. As a copper mineral, chrysocolla is also used as copper ore.


Chrysocolla creates balance, has a calming effect on the nerves and relieves excessive tension or stress. In this way, it soothes the mind and can also turn anger or hatred into its opposite. Through this mental balance, chrysocolla gives warmth, tolerance and serenity. The healing stone also helps to keep a cool head in necessary situations. Increased intuition and patience also allow decisions to be made much better and with lasting effect.
