• Shattuckite is a relatively recent stone. In 1915, it was first discovered in Bisbee, in the Shattuck mine in Arizona. This is how it got its name. This stone is a copper silicate stone. It does not contain aluminum. It is found in blue color, ranging from light blue to dark blue. It is usually associated with various stones such as chrysocolla, thus offering a unique and particular color. Its hardness is 3.5 on the Mohs scale.
  It is also called Quantum Quattro because of the presence of the 4 minerals: quartz, shattuckite, chrysocolla, malachite and dioptase.
  
  It is worth noting that there are no legends or myths related to this stone. No shattuckite has been found in archaeological excavations anywhere. On the other hand, chrysocolla has a very long history, as many civilizations around the world have a history with this mineral.

  For example, in 1000 BC, King Solomon of Israel is said to have owned magnificent copper mines. These mines produced a blue-green stone, then called King Solomon's Stone. This fabulous stone was a combination of chrysocolla, malachite and turquoise.

  But it was in 315 BC that this stone was described by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus. It is mainly used for soldering gold in the manufacture of jewelry. In fact, the name of this stone is derived from two Greek terms, namely "chrysos” and "kolla”, meaning "gold” and "glue”. The copper was recovered and used to solder the gold.

  This chrysocolla stone has been credited with metaphysical properties since ancient Egypt. In fact, it was even nicknamed the "stone of wisdom". Diplomats wore it during important negotiations in order to find favorable solutions. Queen Cleopatra herself decided to wear chrysocolla jewelry during her meetings with foreign ambassadors. Indeed, she was known to have a fiery temperament and this stone allowed her to be calm and composed.

  In the Middle Ages, chrysocolla was ground into powder and had medicinal properties, particularly for treating the stomach. It was also said to promote the healing of wounds and relieve certain vision problems.

  During the Renaissance, chrysocolla was used as a pigment for painting. Traces have been discovered in the works of some painters or on wall frescoes.

  More generally, across several civilizations, including that of the South American Indians, chrysocolla was used as a talisman. Indeed, it served to protect warriors and provide them with strength and physical resistance.
  
  The main deposits of shattuckite chrysocolla stone are found in South Africa, Namibia, the United States, Argentina, Chile and Peru.
