Chrysocolla
Chrysocolla is attractive blue-green that provides a unique color to the gem world. Chrysocolla forms in the oxidation zones of copper rich ore bodies, and is mined primarily in Arizona and Russia. Pure Chrysocolla can be soft and fragile however, Chrysocolla often is "agatized" in chalcedony quartz (called Gem Silica Chrysocolla) and it is the quartz that provides the stone with its polish and durability. Druzy Chrysocolla is a rock composed of agatized Chrysocolla with a crust of small sparkling quartz crystals in small cavities. A skilled craftsman, if able to polish a specimen that accentuates the colored swirls of Chrysocolla and sparkles of the druzy quartz, can produce a lovely and valuable piece of jewelry.
