Chrysocolla Tumbled Stones, 1 Lb

Peruvian origin. Peru's copper country produces some of the world's finest chrysocolla, and this lot comes from there, smoothed to a polished tumble.

Copper-born color. The blue-green range is the metal's own signature, swirling differently through every stone; no two match, and none should.

A full bulk pound. Enough for a household bowl, several grids, pocket pouches, and the generous giving that bulk stones exist for.

• Quantity: approximately 1 pound
• Size: standard tumbled stones
• Origin: Peru
• Color: blue-green; varies naturally by stone

Chrysocolla holds a gentle, well-sourced place in the tradition. Scott Cunningham files it as a receptive stone of Venus and Water, worked for peace, love, and wisdom, and the mineralogy underwrites the poetry: chrysocolla is a copper stone, colored by the very metal the old tables assign to Venus. Judy Hall places it at the throat, where modern practice keeps its stones of calm, honest communication.

By the pound, that gentleness becomes infrastructure. A bowl of chrysocolla in the room where your household talks, a grid laid for peace with blue-green stations, a pouch stone carried into every hard conversation of a season: this is the stone for making calm a standing feature of a home rather than an occasional visitor.

1. Cleanse them on arrival with incense smoke or a night of moonlight; chrysocolla is a softer mineral, so skip water and salt soaks.
2. Keep a bowl where conversations happen; kitchen tables and home offices both qualify.
3. Seed grids for peace and household harmony, with the swirled stones as your gentle stations.
4. You might choose to carry one on talking days, a throat-stone for the pocket.
5. Give them away freely. Gentle speech is worth distributing.

• Chrysocolla Chip Bracelet: the same stone worn at the wrist for the hours away from the bowl.
• Blue Chalcedony Pebbles, 1 Lb: a fellow calm-keeper in the blue register, at pebble scale.
• Celestite Tumbled Stones, 1 Lb: sky blue for the same gentle shelf.
• Calligraphy Jasper Tumbled Stones, 1 Lb: an earth-toned pound to ground the collection.
• Peace Soy Votive Candle: a steadying flame beside the bowl.

What is chrysocolla traditionally used for?

Peace, love, and wisdom in Cunningham's tables, under Venus and Water; Hall places it at the throat as the stone of calm communication.

Where are these stones from?

Peru, whose copper country is one of the world's great chrysocolla sources.

Is the color natural?

Yes; the blue-green comes from chrysocolla's copper content and swirls differently through every stone. Uniform, electric color would be the warning sign.

How many stones come in a pound?

It varies with stone size, so we would rather not promise a count. Expect a generous double handful of standard tumbles.

How do I care for them?

Chrysocolla is on the softer side: cleanse with smoke or moonlight rather than soaks, handle kindly, and keep long direct sun to a minimum to preserve the color.
