:gem: Phenacite along with Chrysocolla allows for deep inner visions to be to be communicated well and help understand their meaning.

Oh! This stone would be very helpful for me! I have one, but it just kind of sits in my gem dish looking pretty :sweat_smile: but now that I know this, I think I’ll cleanse it, charge it, and use it as a talisman! Thank you for this! :two_hearts::sparkling_heart:

Thank you so much for sharing :purple_heart::blush:

I bought myself a tumble of Chrysocolla a few weeks ago while I was at my favourite crystal shop. Anywho. I didn’t know why I needed it but I just decided to buy it anyway. As you do. You don’t say no to crystals.

I get home and I look up my new friend in “The Crystal Directory: 100 Crystals for Positive Manifestation” by Sarah Bartlett…

Boom. What’s the first thing that I read about my new little buddy…

“If you need a stone to help you get over a break-up, or help you to forgive yourself and others, this is the stone for you. Not only does it “glue” back together your own broken feelings, making you feel whole again, but enhances any new emotional bonds”.

Me thinks that me needed my new little friend. Maybe he needs some brothers and sisters.

Thank you :blush: I just was mind boggled when I got home and read that. It is true they call out to for a reason when they know that you need them.

I had a serpentine crystal fall randomly 2 days in a row. So I have been using it. The first property I thought of was calming/soothing and I had bad anxiety and depression. It’s been by my bedside. They know! They do have energy!

They really do. They know exactly what we need when we need it.

I swear I’m trying to hit the connection with my ex with everything that I can. I’ve got Kunzite, Blue Calcite, Green Aventurine, Chrysocolla, Amazonite, Black Tourmaline and Clear Quartz.

But I am very grateful to my little Chrysocolla friend. I really needed him. And he’s very pretty haha.
