Beautiful rough chrysocolla from Congo

Copper-rich environment

Chrysocolla is a mineral that typically occurs in copper-rich environments and exhibits a range of blue and green colors, similar to azurite and malachite. The stone is often found in different shades of these colors within the same specimen.

Polishing

Due to its softness and brittleness in pure form, chrysocolla is unsuitable for processing, but it is often found in combination with quartz or other minerals to increase its strength for polishing.

Working of chrysocolla

Chrysocolla is said to promote self-confidence and help with emotional healing. It may assist in processing feelings of sorrow and lead to a greater understanding of one's emotions. By promoting emotional release, chrysocolla may also bring joy, security, and peace to individuals who use it.
