It promotes level headedness, encouraging clarity of thought and a neutral, cool attitude during turbulence. It can be used to decrease nervousness and irritability.

Chrysocolla is used to attract love…

Place a piece of chrysocolla in your hand. Visualize a love being attracted to you.

Place the stone in a red or pink container half filled with water. Next, put three red roses in the container as well. Replace with fresh roses when any fade.

Your love will come to you!
