Chrysocolla is an exquisite member of the Copper family and its presence is abundant throughout metaphysical healing. It presents in shades of bright green, sea-foam and deep blue with the occasional brown or black. Chrysocolla is found in many forms such as tumbled or polished or on a Matrix – a formation of larger crystals embedded within finer-grained material. It is very popular for setting in jewelry.
Using Chrysocolla in Metaphysical Work
Chrysocolla is used in many types of metaphysical work. At the Throat Chakra, it promotes balance and strength within one’s outward expression and initiates the confidence to speak freely and will, readily, help discern if silence may be more beneficial. Chrysocolla stokes the Heart Chakra, allowing one to develop compassion and understanding for the behaviors of others.
Use this crystal during meditation to cultivate inner peace as it promotes stable and balanced energy within your environment, among many other things.
Cultivating Patience with Chrysocolla
One aspect I want to highlight the most is Chrysocolla’s ability to work with patience. Some people are born with the patience of a saint. Most of us, however, are given lessons to cultivate patience throughout the entirety of our lives.
Developing patience is tough due to the many situations where it is needed. For example, patience with others and where they are in life or patience for ourselves. An important example is to have patience regarding divine timing, to understanding that a higher-order exists and it is aligning things for you at precisely the right time.
No matter where you need to cultivate patience, Chrysocolla is there for you. If you experience persistent fear, feel untrusting or uncertain, it will help you progress into the wisdom of synchronicity. Chrysocolla gives us a true understanding of the unknown and imparts trust that a larger wheel is turning. It shows us that we are exactly where we need to be in life.
Chrysocolla teaches us to sacrifice control and attachment to things in exchange for higher wisdom and the ability to see beauty in the uncertain.
Bring Peace and Understanding to Your Life
Chrysocolla softens that inner tone to allow for mistakes and growth in your life. It brings the wisdom that we cannot be so hard on ourselves when you are learning our lessons. This wisdom eventually leads to a deep understanding that we knew this all along.
Working through patience with other people can be really difficult. A good example of this is witnessing family or friends that do not reach their full potential or maybe they are stuck in a habit or relationship they need to leave. Instead of turning to frustration and anger, Chrysocolla helps you cultivate the wisdom to let go, allow others to be where they are and recognize it is not your responsibility to fix it.
Chrysocolla is a wonderful, all-encompassing stone of patience. Sleep with it, carry or wear it, use it in a grid, or use it on the body of a client in your healing practice.
