Chrysocolla (Eilat Stone)

Item Description

A rarely seen specimen of the famous Chrysocolla from the historic copper producing region near Eilat. I'm told that this material is Chrysocolla sitting on sedimentary rock matrix. This piece came to me from a trusted source, who purchased it directly in Israel. Eilat Stone derives its name from the city of Eilat where it was once mined. The Eilat stone is the National stone of Israel, and is also known as the King Solomon Stone.
