Beautiful chrysocolla strand (stab.) with the typical green-turquoise color spectrum of the gemstone; especially attractive due to the contrast with the dark brown matrix.
Diameter of the polished balls 6mm, length of the ball strand approx. 36cm.
In analytical gemstone medicine, chrysocoll is important in situations when its balancing effect is needed - the mineral helps to keep a cool head.
The name "chrysocoll" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and kolla (glue). The translation "gold glue" refers to the ancient use of the mineral in goldsmithing and granulating. The occasional spellings chrysocoll, chroysocoll, chrysochol, crysocoll, crysokol or crysocoll are therefore incorrect. Synonyms for chrysocoll are chrysocolla, silica copper, silica malachite, copper silica, copper green or mountain green.
