Chrysocolla (Namibia) B/C Grade

I love the combination of colors and minerals that accent the teal blue of the Chrysocolla. These are B/C grade tumbles, so while you may see the forest green of Malachite, the blue of Shattuckite, the blue of Azurite or the pale blue/green of Ajoite, they are much lighter and sparser than the A Grade tumbles. Each piece averagtes 3/4" to a small 1".

Chrysocolla, according to The Gemstone Healing Guide, A Healing Apothecary, is a wonderful stone to use when cultivating friendships or deepening relationships.

Physically, Chrysocolla can be used as a tool to regulate insulin for Diabetics, or work with Alzheimer's patients. It reduces the pain of arthritis/bursitis/rheumatism, balances the metabolism and can aid in throat and thyroid issues.

Chrysocolla helps to balance the emotions and the emotional body, reducing anger, feelings of guilt, the pain of grief, or paralyzing fears. I often recommend Chrysocolla as a reminder that there is always hope, even when it appears all hope has been lost.

Chrysocolla can also be a tool to use in meditation, finding peace or achieving serenity.
