Smooth Stones Sonora Sunrise (chrysocolla with cuprite)

The stone gets its name from its localities, the Milpillas copper mine in the Sonora Desert (northern Mexico). The different colors, ranging from dark brown-red to black to green-blue, result from the mineralogical composition of the individual pieces. Each of the minerals is not rare on its own, but can only be found in this colorful mixture in the small localities in Mexico.

The EPI Institute (www.epigem.de) discovered the exact composition using its röntenographic methods:
+ green-blue areas: Intergrowth of the copper sulphate brochantite with the green copper silicate Chrysocolla
+ brown to orange-red areas: Copper(I) oxide cuprite
+ black areas: Copper(II) oxide tenorite

Stone healing according to Michael Gienger recognizes Sonora Sunrise as a stone for dignity and beauty - the mineral can help to maintain inner balance and to take care of the necessary things in life responsibly. Sonora Sunrise is also used in gemstone healing to refine the sense of aesthetics and harmony, to intensify dreams and to revitalize the emotional world. Due to the Copper, Sonora Sunrise is associated with Venus, Taurus and Libra in astrology.
