Turquoise, Peruvian, Tumbled

Peruvian Turquoise is the trade name given to rare and brightly coloured aqua Chrysocolla. Peruvians have been wearing this beautiful ornamental stone since ancient times. Chrysocolla is a mineral of secondary origin, commonly associated with other secondary copper minerals. It is typically found as botryoidal or rounded masses and crusts, or vein fillings. This opaque and brittle mineral contains hues of aqua blue, green and turquoise.

As a healing stone it is gentle, soothing and alleviates tension. Excellent for the heart centre to allow flexibility, self-forgiveness, peace and patience. Also for the throat centre, to express feelings and verbal/artistic creativity.
