Blue Chrysocolla Cabochon Stone Gemstone for Jewelry Making Pendant Earring Ring Necklace Bracelet Manufacturer supplier Exporter Wholesaler from Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Blue Chrysocolla History Chrysocolla, the king of carbonate copper gemstones, is an attractive, brilliant blue-green colour that is frequently confused with turquoise due to their aesthetic similarities. It is frequently found mixed with malachite, turquoise, and azurite, resulting in the magnificent mixed gemstone known as Eilat stone (named after the city where it was once mined). According to legend, Eilat stone was originally quarried in King Solomon's mines in Africa, which is why it is Israel's national stone. The chrysocolla's rich, brilliant blue and green colours are suggestive of looking down from space on the earth's surface. he name chrysocolla was first used to describe the stone by Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher and botanist, in 315 B.C. The word was derived from the Greek words chrysos, meaning gold, and kola, meaning glue, referencing the fact that chrysocolla was employed from the earliest times by goldsmiths as an ingredient for solder, called santerna by the Romans, to weld gold pieces together. This fancy gemstone has indeed inspired creativity in many artists, whether they were ancient goldsmiths using it as solder, Renaissance painters grinding it as pigment for paint or modern jewelry designer-artists including it within their designs. This stone lends itself well to opulence. Nero was a Roman Emperor and well-known patron of the green faction of ancient Rome. These ancient factions were split into four colors: red, white, blue and green and were elite clubs that people felt loyalty to above all others. They would have many competitions, such as chariot races, and would do anything to ensure that their club would win and be proven superior. The green faction was the most dominant club, so when Nero was to take part in a race as a charioteer, he dusted the circus arena with ground green chrysocolla powder instead of using the customary sand. Wherever there are significant copper concentrations, such as in Africa, Mexico, and the U.S. state of Arizona, chrysocolla can be found (where it is called Apache chrysocolla). Arizonan chrysocolla is a combination of the minerals chrysocolla, turquoise, jasper, lapis, malachite, and quartz crystal. Blue Chrysocolla Metaphysical Properties The softest stone is chrysocolla. It doesn't have a high energy level like quartz, rutilated quartz, or smoky quartz, and it doesn't awaken suppressed emotions like malachite, azurite, or lapis do. Its primary function is to inspire, calm, and soothe. Even just the colour is calming, a deep blue-green that can make you think of a far-off mountain peak or the quiet at the bottom of the sea. For thousands of years, chrysocolla has been known throughout the world as a stone of calming reconciliation and reassurance. In ancient Egypt, it was called the "wise stone" because it shielded and encouraged the mind during negotiations. Those who wore it generally came up with clever compromises and resolutions. This stone also has the ability to help people who are violent to become more sensitive and tolerant which is why, as an ambassador, Cleopatra wore chrysocolla jewelry everywhere she went. The most delicate of all stones is chrysocolla. It doesn't have a high energy like quartz, rutilated quartz, or smoky quartz, and unlike malachite, azurite, and lapis, it doesn't awaken dormant emotions. Its primary function is to comfort, inspire, and calm. Its deep blue-green hue alone is calming, conjuring images of a distant mountain peak or the quiet at the bottom of the sea. Chrysocolla is not assigned to any particular month as a birthstone; however it's a wonderful stone to use in conjunction with turquoise in traditional December birthstone jewelry. Chrysocolla has the ability to bring harmony, increase wisdom and guide you toward discretion. It promotes level headedness, encouraging clarity of thought and a neutral, calm attitude during turbulence by purifying the home, environment and the mind. Use it to decrease nervousness and irritability. The use of chrysocolla as a stone of mild healing in other cultures has a history that parallels that of the Apache people. African and Tibetan folklore also describes the use of chrysocolla in healing. It is frequently referred to as multicoloured turquoise and wasn't until recently that it was recognised as a semiprecious gem rock that it was regarded as a gemstone in its own right. It thus became a popular stone for jewellery representing fortune, prosperity, and fortitude. Wearing chrysocolla can also help with issues with creativity or trouble expressing one's emotions. Once a month, chrysocolla should be rinsed under warm running water and then placed in a bowl with a piece of genuine hematite to cleanse its energy.
