Chrysocolla (Eilat Stone)

Item Description

A rarely seen specimen of the famous Chrysocolla on granluar Quartz from the historic copper producing region near Eilat. I'm told that this material is mostly Chrysocolla, but can contain Azurite, Malachite and Turquoise. 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. This piece came to me from a trusted source, who acquired it directly in Israel.
