The Sovereign CEO · WHO she is
Conductive
A copper stone — the colour of the metal that carries current better than almost anything on earth.
Chrysocolla · The Law of Parameter
- Family
- Hydrated copper silicate — a secondary mineral of copper deposits
- Hardness
- 2–4 alone; 6–7 when silicified as 'gem silica'
- Colour
- Vivid turquoise to blue-green from copper
- Signature
- Found only where copper ore is weathering — it marks the vein
The stone read as the word
Chrysocolla is copper wearing a different coat. It only forms in the oxidised zone of copper deposits, so prospectors read it as a sign: where this blue-green shows, current-carrying metal runs underneath. The stone is the visible end of a conductive line.
It also hardens by association. Soft on its own, chrysocolla infused with chalcedony becomes gem silica — one of the most valuable blue gems in the world. Conduction works both ways: what it carries, it is also strengthened by.
What it is carried for
- Carried as the stone of transmission — speech, teaching and current that reaches the other end.
- Held for being a channel rather than a container.
- Worn when what she carries must pass through her to others.
