Said to have been a beloved stone of Emperors and Kings, Chrysocolla is known to be a stone that carried strong connotations of elite living. Its name is derived from the Greek word "Chrysos" and "Kola", meaning gold and glue. This references the fact that Chrysocolla was originally used as solder by Goldsmiths to weld precious metals together. It has inspired creativity in artists since ancient times and was even used as pigment in the most intricate works of Renaissance painters.
