  >Nuggets< of History: 

The name dates back to around 300 BC when the Greek philosopher and botanist Theophrastus named it after a borax-like substance used in gold welding – Chryso for gold and colla for glue.

Legend has it that Cleopatra carried Chrysocolla during tense negotiations with her brother or the Romans to keep tempers in check and maintain calm.

Wise women, healers, midwives, and elders often connect deeply with Chrysocolla. In gemstone lore, it supports sharing knowledge across generations, keeping wisdom alive- thus its connection with the Greek Goddess Sophia- the mother of knowledge & philosophy, and Hagia Sophia, the Christian idea of Holy Wisdom.
