Chrysocolla Birthstone

Chrysocolla is a Cyan colored minor copper ore. The name is derived from the ancient Greek word "Chrysos Kolla" meaning 'Gold Glue' (in other words, the material used to solder gold). The name "Chrysos Kolla" was first used by Theophrastus, in 315 BCE. Theophrastus was a Hellenist scholar known as the "Father of Botany".
