I couldn't photograph this against my tape to show the size, like I usually do, as it was too big! It is about 8" long 4" deep and 2" high, weighs a whopping 1315gms and has stunning colouring. A very special piece.

This stunning crystal is based on copper, the stone of Venus, and can have varying amounts of azurite, malachite, cuprite or turquoise which contribute to the stunning colours. It has been said that high-quality pieces, with its blues and greens can look like the Earth from space.

The blues make it a good stone to work with the throat chakra, helping with communication on all levels. It is relaxing, both physically and emotionally and enhances creativity and is said to bring success, peace and change.
