Chrysocolla Crystal Raw - Congo

This raw crystal is listed as Chrysocolla Crystal Raw - Congo (shop SKU VCHS3), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper silicate, typically blue to blue-green, and often occurs with other copper minerals or as a botryoidal crust. It is relatively soft. In crystal traditions, chrysocolla is associated with communication and with calm. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Congo.
