What are Shattuckite and Chrysocolla?

Shattuckite is a rare copper silicate with deep cerulean-teal color. Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper phyllosilicate with blue-green to turquoise color. Both minerals form in copper ore oxidation zones and are prized for their complementary colors when found together.

Where does this Shattuckite and Chrysocolla come from?

These larger raw stones are from Namibia, recognized as one of the world's best sources for richly colored Shattuckite and Chrysocolla matrix material.

What does AA grade mean at this larger size?

AA grade at 2-4 inches means rich, saturated color in both minerals visible across a substantial surface area, clear distinction between the two minerals' tones, and minimal colorless or pale matrix reducing the overall quality.

Is this material treated or enhanced?

No. All color is entirely natural, produced by copper content. No dyes, coatings, or stabilization treatments have been applied.

What intentions is this combination used for?

Shattuckite and Chrysocolla together are associated with compassionate communication, emotional balance, and expressing difficult truths with calm. They are often chosen for communication-focused practices.

How do I care for these large Shattuckite and Chrysocolla raw stones?

Both minerals are soft and fragile (Mohs 2-4). Avoid water, acidic cleaners, and impacts. Store with padding away from all other stones. Dust with a very soft dry brush only.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Mohs Hardness: 2-4 (pure); 5-7 (silicified)
Origin: Kunene, Namibia
Beginner Friendly: Yes
Treatment Awareness: Medium (stabilization possible)

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.

Sourced directly from Kunene, Namibia. 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. Worth knowing: a lot of the chrysocolla on the market is stabilized. What we carry is natural and untreated.

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

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, hold it for a few breaths before a conversation that matters. 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.
