Gorgeous natural Chrysocolla oval cabochon measuring approximately 32.8 x 25.1 x 7.3 mm and weighing approximately 46.70 carats (9.34g). This beautiful gem displays green, blue, orange, yellow, and brown tones of minerals, including Malachite, Chrysocolla, Jasper, and Cuprite. This gemstone is new, hand-shaped in 2020, but has a crack running through it, which has been stabilized, but is visible without magnification, and is best suited as a display specimen or bezel-set for a pendant.
Chrysocolla, a captivating copper silicate mineral, is prized for its vibrant hues ranging from deep turquoise to sky blue and emerald green. This stone, often found in association with other copper minerals like malachite and azurite, exhibits a soft, earthy texture and can form botryoidal, massive, or vein-filling structures. Revered for its calming and communicative properties, chrysocolla is popular in lapidary work and is believed to foster tranquility and harmony. Its relatively low hardness makes it susceptible to scratching, requiring gentle handling.
