EducationChrysocolla in Chalcedony Enhancement
27th Mar 2018 10:42 UTCmario tapilouw
I am wondering if there is anyone knows about enhancement of Chrysocolla in Chalcedony. I was told that this stone can change its color, from brown into beautiful green or blue color, so I would like to ask if there's anyone got any experience with this mineral?
Thank you very much.

chrysocolla is not a crystal, read what Doug said.

So, brown is a color I have seen in the above mentioned alteration process of the copper ores. Until the chrysocolla is studied fully, it will remain a big question. I do believe that the mineral tenorite I have seen at a number of mines in Arizona is not actually there but is the "black" chrysocolla instead.

Sounds like a thesis, if someone could scrounge up the funding for such an esoteric subject (that is, just not relevant to the price of tea in China these days).

To disabuse those of you who think Chrysocolla is blue or greenish blue check out the new header photo and colour box https://www.mindat.org/min-1040.html
