Item Description
Chrysocolla is typically opaque or translucent, and rarely does one see gem quality stones of this material. This stone has a vibrant blue green color, which is mixed with a contrasting white host rock matrix. The stone has a "Pear 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 superb rare gem to add to any collection, amd would end up being a wonderful bargain for one collector as it was valued at $262.92 retai.
