==History==
Chrysocolla, an adept Homeworld Cartographer serving under the esteemed Blue Diamond, was tasked with exploring and mapping a new, uninhabited colony. Alongside her was her loyal bodyguard, Aventurine, both reporting to their ruthless agate commander, Holy Blue. Chrysocolla dedicated herself to charting the planet's untouched landscapes, and for a time, everything seemed to be going well. However, on Homeworld, mistakes are unforgivable.
One day, Chrysocolla, enthralled by the planet's beauty, neglected to chart a massive cavern, leading to the unfortunate poofing of some aristocrats. Homeworld's judgment was swift and severe: Chrysocolla was sentenced to be shattered. But Aventurine, ever steadfast in her duty to protect Chrysocolla, intervened.
Both gems were imprisoned on the colony, awaiting Blue Diamond's arrival to carry out the shattering. Soon after, their division was summoned to crush the Rebellion forces, causing them to abandon the colony, the mission, and Chrysocolla and Aventurine.
Years turned into decades, and isolation bore down heavily on Chrysocolla. Homeworld had long since forgotten about the colony, leaving the two gems trapped in solitude. Over time, Chrysocolla and Aventurine found comfort in each other's presence, their bond growing stronger. Friendship blossomed into something deeper. Eventually, the containment cell deteriorated, granting them their long-awaited freedom.
Their newfound freedom was strange. Without Homeworld's guidance, they felt lost. Yet, one thing was certain: they didn't want to face the unknown without each other.
==Gemology==
 
*Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper phyllosilicate mineral with formula: Cu2−xAlx(H2−xSi2O5)(OH)4·nH2O (x<1) or (Cu,Al)2H2Si2O5(OH)4·nH2O.
*The structure of the mineral has been questioned, as spectrographic studies suggest material identified as chrysocolla may be a mixture of the copper hydroxide spertiniite and chalcedony.
*Chrysocolla has a cyan (blue-green) color and is a minor ore of copper, having a hardness of 2.5 to 3.5.
*The name comes from the Ancient Greek: χρυσός κολλα (chrysos kolla), "gold glue", in allusion to the name of the material used to solder gold, and was first used by Theophrastus in 315 BCE.
