  • Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper phyllosilicate mineral, in shades of green, blue, blue-green, black and brown. It is commonly found in copper mines. Pure chrysocolla is soft and fragile. However, most chrysocolla beads are in a matrix of rock crystal (clear quartz) or silica, and has physical properties closer to that of quartz. When found in a brilliant blue state it can be mistaken for turquoise; typically, the brighter the blue or green color, the higher the price.Chrysocolla is also known as bisbeeite, chrysocole, crysocolla, chrysocolle, chrysocollite, chrysokolla, crisocola, crisocolla and gem silica.The name comes from the Greek chrysos, meaning "gold," and kolla, meaning "glue," due to its use as a flux to solder gold around 300 BC. The bluer shades of Chrysocolla are popular for the throat chakra, and are believed to promote clear communication and provide the courage to express oneself. The greener shades of Chrysocolla are popular for opening the heart chakra. The blue-green combination is believed to empower one to communicate in a clear, loving way.

  • Silver and gold jewelry is assembled using hard solders and a torch. Hard solders are alloys of silver or gold that melt at lower temperatures than the sterling or gold karat alloys being used to make the piece of jewelry. Rings & Things carries silver solders. Confusion sometimes arises because the lowest-temperature hard solder is sometimes called "soft" silver solder. (We prefer the term "easy flow" for this lowest temperature hard solder.) Hard solder comes in a number of grades. We carry three: "easy," "medium," and "hard."Hard silver solder melts at around 1365°Fmedium at around 1275°Feasy at around 1240°F.Using these various grades, you can build a complex piece of jewelry starting with hard grade solder, then working down through the temperature ranges. This way the solder holding the first elements will not flow or move when the next pieces are added to the assembly using the lower-melting point solders. To use the hard solders we carry, you also need flux and pickling solution, available separately.FYI: the correct spelling is SOLDER, even though in most of the U.S., we pronounce it "sodder." For mending costume jewelry, see soft solder. See Related Products links (below) for similar items and additional jewelry-making supplies that are often used with this item.

Using a steel hammer on steel stamps, can damage (or even shatter!) your metal stamps, and is likely to bounce and give you the dreaded double impression. This is why we recommend always using brass hammers to hit steel stamps. Brass is a softer metal than steel, so don't worry when your brass hammer head gets dented (this is normal).
