Chrysocolla Necklaces

The chrysocolla necklace is a jewel with colors reminiscent of the Earth seen from the sky. This deep blue-green, mixed with turquoise, earthy brown, and sometimes touches of malachite or azurite, gives each pendant or bead a unique pattern, like a miniature landscape worn at the hollow of the neck. No two chrysocolla pieces are alike, and it is this blend of natural colors that makes each necklace truly irreplaceable. Chrysocolla is a copper silicate whose name comes from the Greek chrysos (gold) and kolla (glue), because ancient goldsmiths used it in soldering gold. Cleopatra wore it as a necklace during her diplomatic negotiations, convinced that it promoted peace and dialogue. Worn on the neck, chrysocolla is naturally positioned between the throat chakra and the heart chakra, the two centers on which it works.

In lithotherapy, the chrysocolla necklace is renowned for its properties of gentle communication, emotional release, and feminine expression. On the neck, it creates a fluid link between what one feels (heart) and what one expresses (throat). It is a stone that helps to verbalize emotions accurately, to communicate without aggression, and to release what has been suppressed for too long. It is recommended for people who suppress their emotions, who cannot express what they feel, or who seek to communicate with more empathy. It is also a stone strongly linked to feminine energy, nicknamed the "stone of wise women." Chrysocolla pairs beautifully with turquoise (communication and protection), amazonite (sincere expression), or rose quartz (softness and opening of the heart). For care, be careful: chrysocolla is soft and porous with a hardness of 2 to 4 on the Mohs scale. No prolonged water exposure, no salt, no chemicals. Clean your necklace with a soft dry cloth or by fumigation with white sage and recharge it in moonlight.
