Chrysocolla

Item Description

Chrysocolla is typically opaque or translucent, and rarely does one see gem quality stones of this material. This stone has a swirling mix of blue and green hues. It's virtually opaque when backlit with an "Oval Cabochon" cut. The vibrant color in Chrysocolla is often caused by copper, and that is more than likely the case with this stone. This would be a good gem to add to any rare stone collection.
