Chrysocolla is known as a stone of patience,  while malachite is a stone of focus.  Whether studying for an exam,  preparing for a big meeting, or seeing any creative project through to fruition,  we all can use help to slow down, focus, and have patience to finish what we start. 

Chrysocolla & Malachite are in impressive combo, and not only for their spiritual meaning . Chrysocolla in ancient history was a valuable ingredient in luxury goods  while malachite decorated palaces and thrones.

The name "Chrysocolla" is derived from the Greek words for "gold" & "glue". In addition to being prized as a pigment in vibrant blue paints, it was utilized in ancient gold smelting. 

Chrysocolla is very often found with copper deposits. It isn't even technically a mineral.   Chrysocolla is a hard silicate that gets its fabulous turquoise to azure blue coloring from the presence of copper and aluminum. 

 Chrysocolla Malachite, with its vibrant blue and green swirls calling to mind artsy maps from Google Earth, is a combination found in the top layer of copper mines.  Malachite is mineral formed during the surface weathering of copper ore.   In fact, in its purest form Malachite is about 57% copper.

 With its mesmerizing coloring Chrysocolla Malachite is now becoming more popular as a gem   rather than a curiousity and it is now available to everyone.  Deposits are now found all over the globe including the Ural Mountains, Namibia, Mexico, Chile, Arizona, and Australia. 

Our Chrysocolla Malachite cabochons are carved to resemble a mini Earth, or at least a class M planet, viewed from space.  So relax, focus, be patient, and know you've got this. With your Chrysocolla Malachite "Study Buddy" Charm Necklace, it's YOUR WORLD.
