Chrysocolla received its name through the Ancient Greek Philosopher Theopharastus around 300 BC when he noticed its resemblance to a borax-based material used for welding gold.
Worn by many throughout ancient times, Egyptians were known to call chrysocolla the 'wise stone' or the 'stone of wisdom' as it would be known to give the wearer a calming effect, particularly when dealing with unruly, hotheaded people. Cleopatra was known to gift chrysocolla when rulers, officials, and heads of state were in attendance. Egyptians would also wear chrysocolla as protection from psychic attacks, psychological injury, or emotional abuse. Wearing chrysocolla wasn't just for adults; children were also given this crystal to wear as protection and possibly to help ward off unwanted influences during life and death.
Chrysocolla is a beautiful stone. One will notice the resemblance to our earthly planet. With its bright blue colouring representing the waters and the green representing the land, it will come as no surprise that this stone represents the gentleness and power of the beautiful feminine energy, grounding us, centring us, and connecting us to Mother Gaia to help promote Earth healing and healing within oneself.
