Description
Chrysocolla is typically opaque or translucent, and rarely does one see gem quality stones of this material. This stone has a vibrant blue color with a slight green overtone. This stone is translucent in areas and has a "Round" cut. The vibrant color in Chrysocolla is often caused by Copper, and that is the case with this stone. This would be a superb rare gem to add to any collection, especially a suite of U.S. gemstones, or even more specifically a suite of Arizona gemstones.
