Chrysocolla, the king of carbonate copper gemstones, is an alluring, vivid blue-green colour and is often mistaken for turquoise because they share many visual similarities. It can often be found intermingled with malachite, turquoise and azurite. Chrysocolla is the gentlest of stones. Its main role is to soothe, calm and inspire. Its colour alone is soothing. 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. It is favoured as a stone of prosperity and business astuteness, reacting upon the analytical and intuitive abilities. Like a balance scale, it can stimulate the mind and relax emotions at the same time. Chrysocolla is a stone of empowerment of the feminine energies, teaching that genuine power is best expressed through gentleness. It is a stone of the Goddess, and those who resonate with it will likely feel her ancient and enduring energies rising within themselves.
