Chrysocolla is a vivid turquoise-to-teal green-blue, often found with malachite or quartz. It's soft on its own, so much of the material on the market is stabilized in a quartz matrix that makes it durable enough to wear.
Our raw pieces are sourced from Ambatondrazaka, Madagascar. Worth knowing: a lot of the chrysocolla on the market is stabilized. What we carry is natural and untreated.
At 2-4 (pure); 5-7 (silicified) on the Mohs scale, it's on the softer end. Keep it away from water and store it separately from harder pieces.
The name comes from Greek 'chrysos' and 'kolla' because it was historically used as a soldering flux for gold.
In the tradition, chrysocolla shows up most often around working through difficult feelings at your own pace, quiet, steady calm, and opening to connection, with yourself and others. It's traditionally linked to the throat and heart chakras. If that resonates, keep one in your pocket on days you know you'll need to speak up. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
