milosrdenstvi commented on the word Venus crystals
Venus was classically associated with copper (as the sun with gold, moon with silver, Mars with iron, Jupiter with tin, Saturn with lead, and Mercury with...well, you can guess.) So Venus crystals would be an archaic term for a copper oxide. Which one, I won't be able to tell you till I find my source texts again. (See also lunar caustic.)
