Chrysocolla Tumbled Stone - 20-35 mm
Product Description
These Chrysocolla Tumbled Stones show the soft blue to blue-green colour the copper mineral is known for, often mixed with quartz and darker matrix, polished into smooth rounded pieces. The blue and green tones can sit in patches or blend together across the surface, and the polish brings out a gentle, slightly waxy sheen. The stones are an easy palm size and suit a display bowl, a shelf, or quiet tactile handling.
Chrysocolla is traditionally associated with calm, gentle communication and emotional steadiness, and is commonly chosen by people who want to ease the nerves around speaking and self-expression. Many keep a piece nearby during conversation or writing, hold one while winding down, or place it in a calm corner of a room. It is often given to someone going through a stressful or transitional period as a steadying, soothing stone.
As a natural copper mineral, each Chrysocolla stone differs in the balance of blue, green and matrix, so the colour pattern of the piece you receive will be its own.

Geological Information
Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper silicate, an amorphous phyllosilicate-class material with a soft Mohs hardness of about 2.5 to 3.5, and its blue to blue-green colour comes entirely from copper. It is frequently intergrown with quartz, malachite, azurite and turquoise, and the quartz-bearing combinations are popular because the harder quartz lends durability to an otherwise soft mineral. Chrysocolla is often confused with turquoise but can be told apart by its lower hardness, and the rare quartz-rich variety known as Gem Silica is harder and more translucent. It has a long ornamental history, said to have been worn in ancient Egypt and known in ancient Israel as Eilat Stone when found combined with malachite and turquoise. This is natural, untreated material, sourced primarily from Peru, with further material from the USA (Arizona), Chile and Mexico.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
Chrysocolla is soft (Mohs 2.5 to 3.5) and scratches easily, so store it apart from harder stones and handle it gently. As a copper mineral it is not suitable for water elixirs or water cleansing; wash your hands after prolonged handling and keep it dry.
