Chrysocolla Quartz Pendant Necklace

This Chrysocolla quartz stone is a unique blend of gorgeous turquoise and clear quartz.  Stunning colors, wrapped in gold filled wire.   This pendant comes with an 18” wax cord necklace, extendable to 20”. Chrysocolla, the king of carbonate copper gemstones, is a vivid blue-green color and is often mistaken for turquoise because they share many visual similarities. It can often be found intermingled with malachite, turquoise and azurite, creating a wonderful mixed gemstone known as Eilat stone (named after the city where it was once mined). Legend has it that Eilat stone was originally quarried in King Solomon's mines in Africa--which is partly why it is the national stone of Israel. The rich, vibrant blue and green colors of chrysocolla are reminiscent of looking down upon the earth's surface from space. Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth.  It was first recorded in 300 B.C. by Theophrastus and was given the name κρύσταλλος or kristallos. The origin comes from the word “ice” signifying the ancient belief that Quartz was encapsulated in ice. Metaphysical Properties: Chrysocolla is a stone of both gentleness and of power.
