Chrysocolla Sterling Silver Pendant
Amazing natural colours and patterns on this beautiful Chrysocolla stone. Set in a sterling silver custom fit frame, this pendant comes with a complimentary 18" sterling silver link chain, story card and presentation box.
Pendant measures roughly 26x16x4mm, including bail. Please note that although the stone displays natural fissures, this is part of the gemstone's natural beauty.
Chrysocolla is found in Peru, The Democratic Republic of Congo and the Transvaal region of South Africa. This stone forms alongside bodies of copper ore, and copper impurities are to thank for its fantastic colouring. Other copper-bearing minerals such as malachite, azurite, cuprite and turquoise can form and fuse with Chrysocolla, resulting in some extremely interesting and beautiful mixtures of blues and greens, plus mottled/swirling patterns. Loved by healers as a stone of communication, it is said to help with expressing words clearly, calmness when teaching others and inspiring feelings of empowerment when speaking up for yourself.
