It can look like tropical water, storm clouds, oxidised copper, old earth, desert sky, river pools and little hidden worlds all at once. It is blue, but not always a simple blue. It is green, but not always a simple green. It shifts somewhere between water and earth, and I think that is part of its charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3994\" data-end=\"4322\"\u003eI have always felt Chrysocolla has a calm kind of honesty about it.
