Shattuckite sits deep blue-green, dense and almost matte compared to the glassier stones around it, the color of water somewhere much colder than Florida. It's associated with speaking a hard truth out loud instead of rehearsing it in your head one more time, the stone for the conversation you keep drafting and never sending. Larger than a standard tumble, it has enough weight to actually notice in a pocket. Carry it into a conversation you've been putting off, or hold it in a closed hand for a minute before you say the thing you've been circling. Shattuckite is a copper silicate mineral, often found alongside malachite or chrysocolla, which is part of where its saturated blue-green comes from. This piece is polished into a large, smooth tumble. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. Something to hold on to right before you finally say it.
