The Stone of Earth Energies

In ancient lore, the Egyptians called Chrysocolla the “Wise Stone of Conciliation” and reassurance throughout the world. As legend reports, those who wore this stone generally came up with clever compromises in all types of situation that outwardly appeared unbearable and impossible to negotiate. At the same time, these people seemed to be protected from psychological damage that often people in negotiation succumb to.

Chrysocolla is often confused with Turquoise, but is actually nothing like Turquoise past the visual inspection.
