I added a silver filled wire bail to a polished chrysocolla gemstone bead. This comes with a 24 inch silver filled chain. The crystal has shades of green, turquoise, blue, and black. It is approximately 3/4 inch long by 1/2 inch wide. Because chrysocolla is a soft stone, it has been stabilized with resin.

Chrysocolla is found in copper mines, and it is often found with other copper based stones such as shattuckite, malachite, azurite, cuprite, and turquoise. The stones often have swirling patterns of colors including blue, green, red, black, and turquoise. This stone is from Africa.

Chrysocolla is a healing stone and can help restore the body's natural defenses. It has a calming and soothing effect that is good for stress relief. Cuprite can aid in dealing with anxiety and irrational terror and is a good stone to use with behavior modification therapy. Azurite can connect the conscious with the subconscious mind and eliminate fear and anxiety. It clears away confusion and opens the mind to new ideas and interpretations. Malachite promotes success whether in business or love. It raises one's spirits and increases hope, health and happiness. Turquoise is good for increased awareness and verbal skills. Some say it brings good fortune and renewed health. It symbolizes honesty and self worth.
