In Short

These are A-grade Shattuckite and Chrysocolla crystal chips from Kunene, Namibia, sold by the piece or by the pound. Both are copper silicate minerals, blending turquoise, teal, and deep blue in the same chip mix. Each chip runs 0.25-0.50 inches, roughly Mohs 2-4 and harder where silicified, bought directly at the source. A favorite emotional healing stone for crystal grids.

About This Chrysocolla

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.

We bring these chips in from Kunene, Namibia. Worth knowing: a lot of the chrysocolla on the market is stabilized. What we carry is natural and untreated.

This is a softer mineral (2-4 (pure); 5-7 (silicified) Mohs). Dry storage, gentle handling, and don't let it knock around with quartz or tourmaline.

The name comes from Greek 'chrysos' and 'kolla' because it was historically used as a soldering flux for gold.

Traditionally Used For

Chrysocolla has long been used in practices 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. There's no single right way to carry it.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity High

Chrysocolla sits at 2-4 (pure); 5-7 (silicified) on the Mohs scale, among the softest stones we carry, so handle it gently and keep it dry. Long soaks dull the surface, so keep any water contact brief and dry it fully.

Good to Know

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real chrysocolla, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural chrysocolla from Kunene, Namibia. Untreated. The chrysocolla-in-quartz variety is more durable than pure chrysocolla.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 0.25 to 0.5 inches on its longest side and weighs 0.25 to 1 grams. About 400 to 800 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does A grade mean?

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

This batch is from Kunene, Namibia. It came to us through a direct source, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
