It was named for the Atacama Desert in Chile, but since then it has also been found in Mexico and the United States, as well as in quite a large number of locations in Australia.
Some pieces have lovely green crystals, located on a deep brown matrix.
In these specimens, the strength of the matrix stone, on which the crystals sit also has potent energy.
The weathering of the stone in quite arid desert conditions is believed to have created it.
Specimens of Atacamite are very beautiful with some having deep green crystals interspersed within the matrix as well as on top of it, which is quite attractive, see image above.
If you look at the image of the stone below will see lovely glittering dark green crystalline areas, along with the lighter green areas.
The actual crystals may also be on top of a base mineral.
Many specimens of Atacamite seem to be more copper based, with clearly and predominantly green color in them, although they may have some small blue areas within the stone.
It may have a similar look to Chrysocolla on some parts of the stone, and is known to be a mixture of various minerals, coming to together to create a totally new stone.
It is said to be related to quite a few stones, similar to the mixtures you might see containing Azurite, Chrysocolla or Malachite.

Wearing this stone by keeping a piece on your body each day may be quite beneficial, as it may be helpful to keep it within your energy field.

The deep green color is quite prevalent among most specimens, but there have also been pieces found with various other colors within them.

As more and more of the stone is made available you will probably find it will be sold as jewelry, but right now jewelry made form this stones is uncommon.
It's easy to buy a macrame crystal holder, and this makes it easy to keep stones on the body when you can't get jewelry.
Ones with a sliding bead at the top make it easy to change the stone.
When using it for meditation it would be beneficial to use it fairly gradually until you adapt to its energy, especially if you have not experienced strong energy before.
It is an excellent stone to use when you are doing your daily crystal meditation, as this allows you to make use of its more impressive nature.
As it is likely to take you to the higher realms, you may become ungrounded.
If you find you are dizzy or feel spacey, make sure you hold one of the strong grounding stones in your hand afterwards to ground you.

will forcefully do this, and it may aid you to more easily achieve contact with your spirit guide.

as your psychic visual abilities open more fully.

I believe that this stone has come to our attention at this time because it is needed by all of us, as we head forward into this decade, working on our overall spiritual development and ascension.
What are the best crystals to combine with Atacamite?
Some of the best stones to combine with it would be Black Obsidian, Maori Greenstone, Fire Agate and Black Tourmaline, as these are also very protective against psychic attack.
Even though this stone has a grounding vibration, if you are using this stone for spiritual development it would be a good idea to also use grounding stones.
Are you ungrounded? Check out the symptoms of being ungrounded, especially if you have been using high vibration stones a lot.
The vibration of both this stone and other copper based stones will be magnified by combining them together. You may like to combine this stone with any of the other copper based stones.
This includes crystals such as Eilat Stone, the stone of King Solomon, Turquoise, Malachite or Shattuckite.
Many areas within these stones look very much like Chrysocolla, which is said to be one of the minerals within Atacamite.
The addition of the energy of Chrysocolla in many specimens may be why it is known to have strong heart chakra energy, and they are excellent used together.

Note: When you use the vibration of crystals to help and support your healing remember that crystals are part of an holistic approach to your health.
Metaphysical healing uses universal energy so does not stand alone and can be used with any other type of healing.
Conventional medicine may say that crystal healing is just the placebo effect, but those who use it do find it is beneficial.
Using the energy of crystals for healing yourself is about finding a way to enhance conventional medicine not replace it. So always seek out medical treatment for any worrying health issue.
