Chrysocolla


This month at PT Massage, Hawaiian Magpie is featuring a stone called Chrysocolla.

Chrysocolla is a beautiful blue-green color, with a soft almost opalescent sheen. It is only made into jewelry when it is mixed with Quartz, because alone it is much to soft (somewhere between 2 and 4 on the Mohs scale). It is associated with the throat chakra and all ailments that go along with that area, but is most commonly used as a reminder to think before you speak, to speak the truth and to refrain from speaking inappropriately.
