This little bracelet is a potential powerhouse of beneficial energy! I used Apatite discs, Chrysocolla faceted rondelles and Turquoise round beads. At the ends are Delica Glass spacer beads and a Silver filled round toggle clasp. The varied colors and shapes of the gemstone beads make this interesting to look at!

As per energymuse.com, "The Greeks were the first to recognize the chameleon-like qualities of Apatite and its ability to resemble other crystals such as Peridot. The Apatite crystal stone meaning comes from the Greek word “to deceive,” owing its name to its unique properties. A combination of different levels of fluorine, chlorine, and hydroxide, the Apatite crystal ranges in color from deep blue-green to green to yellow and sometimes pink or violet. The Apatite crystal contains the same elements that make up our tooth enamel, making it an excellent healing aide for dental issues and mending broken bones."

firemountaingems.com says, "Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December and is heralded as the stone of communication. It is thought to encourage enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities. Turquoise is also believed to provide understanding and encourage attention to detail while attracting prosperity and success."

"Chrysocolla is thought to be the gentlest of stones. It's not considered a high-energy stone like quartz , rutilated quartz or smoky quartz and—unlike malachite, azurite and lapis lazuli —it isn’t said to bring buried emotions to the surface. Its main role is to soothe, calm and inspire. Its color alone is soothing, with a deep blue-green that might remind you of a distant mountaintop or the stillness at the bottom of the sea.

For thousands of years, chrysocolla meaning has been known throughout the world as including calming reconciliation and reassurance. In ancient Egypt, it was called the "wise stone" because it was thought to shield and encourage the mind during negotiations. Those who wore it generally came up with clever compromises and resolutions. This stone also is believed to have the ability to help people who are violent to become more sensitive and tolerant, which is why, as an ambassador, Cleopatra wore chrysocolla jewelry everywhere she went.

Chrysocolla meaning, with associations of tranquility, peace, intuition, patience and unconditional love, is as a healing stone among Native American cultures, where it has been used to strengthen the body's resistance to illness and emotional duress. It has also been used traditionally to bring about calm feelings where there is upset and can be used to purify a place or restore balance to a person.

Chrysocolla is not assigned to any particular month as a birthstone ; however it's a wonderful stone to use in conjunction with turquoise in traditional December birthstone jewelry.

Chrysocolla is purported to have the ability to bring harmony, increase wisdom and guide you toward discretion. It is said to promote levelheadedness, encouraging clarity of thought and a neutral, calm attitude during turbulence by purifying the home, environment and the mind. People use it to decrease nervousness and irritability.

The history of chrysocolla being used as a stone of gentle healing coincides with the stone’s history in other cultures. Legends originating in Tibet and Africa also tell of healings through the use of chrysocolla. It has often been called multi-colored turquoise and, until recently, was not considered a gemstone in its own right until it was cited as a semi-precious gem rock. Then it became a favored stone for jewelry symbolizing prosperity, luck and fortitude.

Chrysocolla is also thought to be a good choice to wear to alleviate difficulty expressing feelings or to enhance creativity. Crystal practitioners say that chrysocolla should have its energies cleansed once a month by rinsing it under warm running water and then placing it in a bowl overnight with a piece of genuine hematite to recharge it."

Wow! So much potential! This bracelet will be a perfect gift for you or your favorite person!
