Chrysocolla is a mineral whose name derives from the Greek words for “gold” and “glue,” as its powder was once used as an adhesive in goldsmithing. It was first mentioned by Theophrastus (372–287 BC).
It is believed to possess healing properties, helping to prevent ulcers and alleviate convulsions. The stone can be discharged in lukewarm water and quickly recharged when exposed to sunlight.
Chrysocolla should be protected from sudden temperature changes, abrasives, and acids. It can be safely cleaned with mild soap and water only.
