Get ready to embrace the water-like qualities of Chrysocolla—a powerful yet calming stone. Its stunning colors aren’t the only thing that will make you think of calm rivers and flowing streams. Chrysocolla is known for its ability to help you embrace the currents of life and accept the changes that come along the way.

Refreshing and rejuvenating, Chrysocolla helps you listen to the voices inside yourself and lets you fully accept the importance of your own experiences and knowledge. 

Let’s dive in and explore how this gorgeous stone can bring clear communication and a calming influence to your life!

Let’s get geological!

Chrysocolla is a hydrous copper silicate mineral that is most often found in beautiful hues of cyan, green, blue, and blue-green—thanks to the copper! It is often coated in a druzy layer of glossy Clear Quartz or has inclusions of Clear Quartz throughout. You will often find inclusions of other copper-based minerals in Chrysocolla, the most common being Malachite.

Chrysocolla has an amorphous crystal system—this means it never actually occurs in what we think of as visible crystals, like Quartz or Calcite. Instead, it occurs in botryoidal, stalactitic, fibrous, and earthy forms. It often forms in the oxidized copper deposits and copper ore bodies.

It can be found in areas of southwestern USA, Chile, Australia, France, England, the former USSR, and Zaire.

The healing properties of Chrysocolla

Emanating gentle, calming energy, Chrysocolla is a powerful soothing stone. It can help you find a quiet confidence that can guide you through difficult situations in your life. It is especially helpful when you are faced with change—Chrysocolla can be the guiding light you need to not only accept but welcome change into your life. 

It is a powerful stone to remove negative energy from your life—say goodbye to fear and doubt! With your energy field free of negativity, you’ll be able to transform your life in the way that is best for you. And Chrysocolla will bring in a fresh blast of positive energy to help you move forward!

There is more than just the color of Chrysocolla that will remind you of water—it is also a water element stone and it can also help you go with the flow! Your life is constantly changing and even if you don’t realize it, so are you! Chrysocolla helps you embrace those changes and accept the ebbs and flows when they come your way.

Chrysocolla is a strong communicator stone. It works to stimulate the Throat Chakra which helps you with clear communication—and because it is also connected to the Heart Chakra, it specifically helps you communicate with authenticity. This is why it is known as the “teaching stone”—it encourages you to speak your highest truth and knowledge for the benefit of others. 

You’ll feel more secure in your communication skills when in social situations, speaking engagements, or highly-charged emotional conversations. Chrysocolla shows you how to embrace your authenticity and vulnerability so you can speak what is truly in your heart when speaking with others and yourself.  

How to use your Chrysocolla 

I’ve covered what the wonderful energy of Chrysocolla can do for you in your life, so now let’s take a look at how you can harness that power!

If you are looking to tap into the power of communication, consider keeping Chrysocolla with you—if you speak for a living you can keep a touchstone in your pocket or even wear a piece of Chrysocolla jewelry. Because the energy of Chrysocolla resonates with the Throat Chakra, wearing a necklace or pendant close to your throat can help balance this chakra—and having this constant connection also gives you an infusion of positive energy throughout the day.
You can also place pieces of Chrysocolla in areas of your home where you most often speak to others. If you work from home, in your home office is a great choice or if you and your family spend the most time talking in the living room, consider adding Chrysocolla as a decorative touch—I love spheres and freeforms for this! 

Chrysocolla is a great stone to help you relieve stress, anxiety, and other fear-based imbalances in your life. It makes a great bedside companion so you can connect with it subconsciously as you sleep and is also a wonderful stone to have with you throughout the day—keep it in your pocket or purse and hold it whenever you need to release your stress and anxiety. Really, any physical place that you experience stress or anxiety is a great place to keep your Chrysocolla. 

Whether you are looking to increase speaking your truth, relieve stress, or simply bask in calming energy, Chrysocolla is here to help!
