Chrysocolla and Apatite Quartz Gemstones 925 Sterling Silver Handmade Pendant, 2.06" and 925 Sterling Silver Necklace, 18" Chrysocolla is a gemstone known for its calming and reassuring properties for thousands of years. The word "Chrysocolla" is derived from the Greek words chrysos, meaning "gold," and kolla, meaning "glue," referring to its historical use as a flux in soldering gold. Its deep blue-green color is said to be soothing, reminiscent of the tranquility of the ocean or a distant mountaintop. Ancient Egyptians called chrysocolla the "wise stone" because they believed it encouraged and protected the mind during negotiations, helping wearers devise clever resolutions and compromises. Apatite is a calcium phosphate mineral. Discovered in 1786 by A.G. Werner, its name comes from the Greek verb "to deceive" due to its frequent confusion with other minerals. Apatite is considered a stone of manifestation associated with service and humanitarian pursuits.
